Axiom M80's
Pros: Exceptional value, very clear and detailed sound at all volumes.
Cons: You may need/want to power them with a separate amp.
They sound very nice, with a clarity and realism I've never heard before. For $1500 they are a great deal.
At first I did find the highs to be very present?, there was a lot more from these than I'd heard form my previous speakers. After a few hours (about 20) play time the highs blended very nicely and were no longer drawing my attention away from the music.
The realism/clarity still amazes me, I hadn't realized how much I had been missing before. I find myself appreciating a lot more music now.
With typical/average recordings and downloaded music the sound very nice. With good quality recordings they amaze.
There are a few songs that I can no longer listen to, like listening to an old am radio, but I'll trade amazingly true sound for bad recordings any day.
I have installed an amp and I am now enjoying them at their true potential for several hours a day.
They were exceptionally well packaged, were exactly as ordered and they look great.
I'm very satisfied.
