I think I'm the last active member that has M50s, but my M50s are too old to really speak to what the current ones sound like. I suppose they are more laid back than the other Axioms I have (M22s, M80s, Audiobytes). I'm sorry to say that I prefer the other Axioms I have now. However, again, I haven't heard the current generation, and I've been told they're superior to the ones I have.

No Axiom is going to sound like a Klipsch, I don't think. I'm afraid I couldn't really compare the M50s to any other brand; audio memory is so poor...

I wouldn't put Kef, Polk and Totems(laid back, kind of) in the same category with any Klipsch(bright) I have heard. I would say the M3s sound closer to Totems but not really. I think the M3s sound better than most of those and I really don't care for the M3 sound, it's good but not for me.

I would suggest to try the M3s and if you don't like them the return shipping is cheaper, if you do like them, return them within the 30 days and only pay for the cost differential to order the M50s and be happy you found your floorstander you desire.

I was gonna order the m3s first for a try but figured id just go with the M50s. I agree the kefs and totems are nowhere near as bright as klipsch but they are when compared to energy and psb.

PSB has some pretty good speakers, I don't remember the ones I have heard and the Energy Connoisseur veritas line is quite good, close to M22/M60/M80 in SQ tone, IMO

Really. I thought the energy RC line were the best out of all the speakers i heard. They were just a little to much at 1500 a apir though. Maybe if i dont like the M50s ill try the M60s

I have a pair of m80s and they are way easier to listen to than klipsch... Klipsch is painful to hear for long periods IMO but m80s are just detailed and accurate

Chances are you'll enjoy the 50's. For some reason, people on this forum are continually trying to up sell others. It's

As for the first part of Ukiah's post, I agree. I think you'll like the 50s a great deal.

As for the second, well, I think it's modern first-world human nature to try to get other people to buy stuff that you have. It validates your own choices.

There’s validity to it. Point taken!

cool . I got a e-mail today that said my order is being processed. I hope that means it will ship tomorrow. I would probably get them either saturday or monday then. I think ill take of work monday to set them up and listen. I just got a pio vsx9040 2 weeks ago thats still in the box so i got some new toys to play with.
