I thought you might like a little progress report on my home audition of the M 80s.
In a nutshell, you wonderful folks at Axiom have increased the quality of my life by a significant degree. I have always loved music and I spend an awful lot of time listening to it. Now there's just more to love. I'm hearing new sounds in music I've been listening to for over 20 years.
Being a drummer, I'm particularly elated at how well percussion is reproduced. For years I'd resigned myself to the notion that in recordings, drums are relegated to the background, shadowed by all the other instruments, and that's where they'll always be. Not anymore. Snares snap, crisp high-hats, reverberating cymbals, the tenor in tenor toms, and a real sweet spot kick from the bass drum. I'm happy.
Then, from Bach to Hendrix, there are the strings. Ok, now you're not budging from your listening chair for the rest of the day. That's because you're right there, live at the recording. I never thought Jimi could sound any better. I'm thinking Ian used Electric Ladyland as a reference when he designed the M 80s.
Another thing that strikes me is the way the speakers reveal the quality of various recordings; the title of an old Clint Eastwood film comes to mind. But that's not your problem.
So, I'm afraid you're not getting these speakers back. And I may have just become an Axiom lifer. Thank you.

It's too bad more 'audiophiles' don't give gear like this a chance - but maybe they don't want to admit that it will compete or beat their uberexpensive gear. I readily admit it - this kills my previous boutique speakers!

Straight out of the box, the speakers sounded great. After breaking them in for 80 hours or so, I am even more pleased. I bought the M80s to replace my Altec/Lansing Model 19 Studio Monitors and am surprised that speakers so small can do it. Congratulations on a fine product.

I can't overstate how pleased I am with the M80 speakers. I didn't realize how much of the soundtrack I was missing. I'm delighted with the way they handle music, too. In addition, I couldn't have asked for better service & turn around time. You did a great job of packaging the speakers, too.
