I agree with many of the remarks others here have made about the original U2 CD. Try the second to last Mark Knopfler CD, Sailing to Philadelphia. The recording quality is much better. I also suggest the Alison Krause CD "New Favorite". I believe it may be the best recorded CD I own.

For any metalheads out there,(no pun intended, Tinfoilhat!) Stone Temple Pilots "Core", song 1, will make your speakers sound like you paid 10X what you actually did.

The axiom owners should be getting a referral discount.
They do. Make sure you're on the official audition list with Amie. If an audition you host results in a sale, you get a check worth 5% of that sale.

Oh thank god, I'm not insane (not that I thought I was...) I was just listening to Alison Krause the other night and thinking how well it was mastered. I think it was So Long, So Wrong, however. So several of her albums are well mastered!
For metal, I think Metallica's S&M is quite well mastered, while St. Anger is mastered extremely badly!

Ultimately the Axiom M22s (or even other models) may not be the choice for gnrajagopal but the QS8s appear to have made themselves another sale.

I don't know which Goo Goo Dolls disk you were listening to, but the production on the only one I own (Gutterflower) is middling, at best. Recent vintage does not seem to guarantee great recording; the disks from Train have lovely songwriting, but "sound" terrible to me. Pity.

I have no idea why, but they actually mastered St. Anger like that on purpose! It is truely horrible.
