Dokken! I love 'em, but not as much as I liked Don Dokken's album, "Up From the Ashes." Classic 80s / early 90s rock.

I listen to mostly metal and I'm happy with my M22s. They play clear and detailed in my little basement room till about 100db and then my ears start to distort.

Hi guys,
I came across the studio 60 V4 on sale today, about USD 1100, same as the M60. In comparison to the B&W 684s which i also auditioned recently, the studio 60 highs seem a bit less airy, and there was more warmth in the midbass.
What i would really like to know is how would it compare to the Axiom M60 which costs about the same price? Any particular advantages/disadvantages?
I listen primarily to heavy metal, but also like jazz vocals and instruments and high quality recordings. In my experience, speakers that are described as 'bright', 'forward' as they sound a bit too much with heavy metal at high volumes. The Monitor Audio RS6 is one example.
Thanks for sharing your opinions! I really enjoy my My Studio 60's v4 and I think there a quality speaker built like a tank lol, I think its just a matter of taste though when comparing its all about what flavor makes you happy . I've heard a lot of good things about Axiom and there M60's and I really dont think you can go wrong with either one. Good luck with your decision

At that price, I would be tempted to go with the Digms. You are getting a very nice wood veneer in the deal, and the M60 and Studio 60 sound very much alike.
Your friends will be giving you huge, um, compliments on your new Digms.

Wow, nice to hear that the two are very similar, i quite like the sound.
Problem is, i'm in singapore, probably still worth checking if there are any M60 owners here that would be willing to let me audition.
Thing is, the studio 60s are 2.5 ways while the M60 are 3 ways. Not sure if this is the cause, but i felt that the Digms were a little loose on the bottom end, even though extension is low. Again that might be due to the amp rather than the speaker. Reviews online never mentioned anything with the bottom end.

Oh boy, glad to know that Metal fans are still alive and well in this day of pop, MTV and R&B and all that.
I used to listen to a lot of Metallica, then i found Manowar. Very nice songs, awesome vocals and incredible live albums!

My strange sense of hmour was lost here...I wasn't referring necessarily to huge (h)its.
