Keep in mind that the $1500 RS750s are $700 dollars more than the $800 M60s.

jcinwylie,
You may want to send a private message to Curtis. I believe he (and possibly spiffnme) have done some serious Rocket listening.

jcinwylie,
If you do a search on this forum for the 750's, you should find a good deal of opinions of both.
I have listened to both critically and to my ears, the 750's sounded like you were sitting on the 25th row of a concert compared to the first or second row sound of the M60's. Others have noted the 750's sounding like they have a blanket thrown over them with the M60's not...
Needless to say, I now own the M60's.
Hope that helps.

I have done as much research as I could in a day or 2 and have found that lots of people call the Axioms "bright".

I actualy own a set of Axioms: M60's, VP150 and pr of QS8's. I also bought the Hsu VTF-2 to go with the set. I like the sound but because of my limited knowledge in audio, (I'm a newbie) I want to know what my fellow axiomites think the difference is. I am going to be visiting a good friend who owns the Rockets and will post back here with my ears' results. Thanks for the info.

I call them "Bob." But that's just me.
Many (most? all?) around here call them "accurate."
A question that was recently posed was, "Is a cymbal crash bright?" Yup. If you want the real sound of the music, you're going to get bright sound.
Is there anyone in your area who has them? You could also listen to the B&W 700 series, which are said to have a similar sound to the M60s (at large multiples of the cost.) {edit} whoop, I see you got your post in before I did. Nevermind....

In reply to:

Are Axioms bright or are the other speakers just dull?
