What would make a real improvement in your enjoyment of those classical CDs would be to listen to the surround ambience mixed into the front channels in surround speakers. One of the fine HT receivers, such as those from Denon or Onkyo, can apply DPLII to extract the ambience and send it to surrounds, such as QS8s, where it belongs. This is how I listen to the thousand or so classical CDs that I have and I'd never voluntarily limit myself again to listening on only front speakers. John's hit the nail on the head here. This would be the best upgrade/addition.

Asher, I agree with Ken. Depending on version, the differences between what you have now and the current model could sound significantly different. My Ti’s are all 2004 or older and I plan to swap them all out.
I have been listening to a set of Axioms with the latest version upper end and there really is no comparison between them and my Ti models. It is much smoother.

Seems to me that if there were significant sonic differences (which apparently there are) between speakers in a same model line with different versions Axiom should at least release some sort of a published timeline list of the different versions and the benefits. The only information I can ever recall hearing about regarding the different versions (or year models) and their differences always comes from here on the message board, I'd like to hear it straight from the manufacturer.

You'll probably be hearing something before much longer. Until then, you can always send Allan a PM.

I know that there have been enough changes since I bought my m80s in nov 2007 that when I thought I had a problem they did not want to send a new speaker but wanted me to send it back for repair.

Well, in lieu of donating to a worthy charity (that would be FTSTHL, the Foundation To Support Terry's Hedonistic Lifestyle, pm me for more info  ), you have another vote for a vinyl rig. Although, the rational me says to invest the money. Or take your significant other on a vacation, see some symphonies in person. Nah, now that I've really thought about it, you really should donate that filthy lucre to the FTSTHL. Seriously, they do wonderful work on behalf of the children. Who are, I might mention, the motherfruggin' future.

FWIW, I thought differences in their repsective frequency graphs for the Ti and V2 models were significant enough...
