Cool! Glad you got your speaks man. I know what you mean about the highs too. I went from Martin Logans to Axiom, and it took about a week to get used to the tiny bit of "harshness" on the top end. One thing that I noticed immediately with the Axiom's though was the huge soundstage, and insane surround envelopment with multichannel tracks. This was something I could never truly achieve using my ML's. In stereo, however, the ML's had no competition. I'm not sure if the "harshness" went away on the Axiom's after they were broken in or if I just got used to it. Axiom has completely won me over though, and they always sound better each time I listen to them. Good luck with getting your replacement bracket, and try to post pics when you can.
