welcome bugbitten,
I spent about 2-3 months audition various speakers, most of the ones you mention above. My brother in-law has a professional recording studio in which he uses the 703 B&W's. We recently took my M60's there and he was very amazed of what he was hearing. To some Axioms may be pricey, but when they perform as well as Speakers twice to three times the price, oh well you get the picture. The build quality is fantastic. My previous speakers where a combination of my 80's Pioneer 4-ways (which still work great), Infinity bookshelf for surrounds, an Advent Center, all being driven by a JVC Pro Logic receiver from the early 90's. I absolutely love my Axioms, and actually have talked 2-3 people at my work into them recently, yippy
