Ahh - I definitely see where you're coming from now with regards to the speaker selection - heh. In fact, I think I have convinced one of my friends to go for some M50s eventually, and that will let me decide if I made the "right" decision for my type of music or not.

I'm in awe that you have the patience to do B-Stock though... I was going to do it, but then the wait time for Mansfield Beech is incredibly long, so I went A-Stock. I am also really anal about my electronics being in perfect condition, and even though most B-Stock Axioms are just fine cosmetically, I'd be afriad to take the chance for 80 dollars difference.
