Are you in the US? I have listened to the RF series of Klipsch and thought they were the sound I was looking for since I like clear highs. Then a sales guy had me listen to a pair of Boston Acoustics VR-M60's bookshelf speakers which were wonderful sounding to my ear. Both highs and lows were smoother. Although the highs were crisp and clear like the Klipsch, I found that they were not as overly exaggerated. I didn't buy the BA's because they were $1000/pair which I couldn't justify or even afford spending for a bookshelf speaker. If you live in the US, I would suggest listening the the Boston Acoustics VRM series to get a better idea of what Axiom's sound like. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you like forward and crisp highs. The more I have went back to listen to the Klipsch's, the more happier I am that I bought the Axiom M60's instead.
