"I am far past that point and i still believe my Axioms are 'bright' to the poitn where i use a resistor on the tweeter sections." Which Axioms do you have? 60's or 80's? What do you mean you use a "resistor"??

maybe the M60's might be a better choice!
I think you might be better off with the M50, Ian had told me that the differences between the 60 & 80 were mainly how much power it can handle and that in can go a little lower.
I've heard them all, but unfortunately I wasn't able to A/B 60's & 80's. I was able to A/B 50's & 80's though...

Graeme,
What sonic differences, outside ot total ouput, did you find in the upper bass-midrange-treble in this comparison?

I've had a ton of people listen to my M80V2s and none have complained of brightness. The comment that usually comes out of people's mouths is "clear without being bright".
I have a few recordings that highlight this quality (Eric Clapton Unplugged). Many of my recordings do not show it at all (Patricia Barber). Point still being that with these specific examples, it is not as prominent on other good quality speakers, but there is certainly no less detail either.

I have heard the M40s and the M60s side by side where the M40s/50s were similar in tonal character.
Muffled is way too strong a word to describe the difference but the M40s were also a two way system whereas the M60s have the dedicated midrange driver thus providing alot more detail IMO.
There are a few other good reviews of these speakers on these forums.

I was first introduced to Axiom via the M50 and really liked them. After more research I thought about M80's and finally decided on the M60 due to input from Axiom and the style/look of the M60 I liked the best.
I think the mid driver in the 60's really adds to the overall sound and adds that little extra. To me, the 50's seem a little warmer and the bass more pronounced as that mid driver is not there to "even" out the sound spectrum.
I recently picked up the M3's which remind me of the 50's and when I go back and forth between the M3's & M60's there is a noticeable difference in the higher tonal ranges. Each speaker sounds fantastic and depending on your preference, mood or music really determines which one you prefer.
If you want to be able to clearly hear subtleties in music and DVD's that you may normally miss, the M60/M80 would be for you. Not saying that the M3/M50 wouldn't pick these up, but the accuracy of the M60/M80 is stunning.
For an example, my Led Zepplin box set is okay on my M60's at lower volumes, on the M3's it sounds much better and the volume ends up getting raised.
I hope this helps...

Some people swing that way, but in my case it most definitely is the wrong hole. Apologies for not living up to your whitewashed vision of the internet.
