Guys thanks for the responses. I'm still hoping to hear from someone in or around Chicago, and really want to give the Axiom's a listen -- I've heard so much about them, and so many people have recommended them. As you can probably tell, I'm not entirely happy with the Athena -- a good deal, but like the other poster said, if they're not for you, then they're not for you. So, I guess I'm still in the hunt for the right sound. I'm going to go audition PSB and Paradigm tomorrow -- which models should I be looking at, and what are the differences I should consider between these brands and the Axioms?
