for the M60ti


Not only was I impressed with the quick service from Axiom when I ordered my speakers. They were delivered in under 48 hours. I am impressed with the improvement in sound over the JBL Speakers they replace. I auditioned quite a few speakers, and have been reading reviews about speakers for 6 months. I am nowhere near an Audiophile, but I was looking for a cleaner sound, better midrange, basically a more baleance speaker. The M60's are not perfect. I noticed some brightness when pushing the speakers hard, but they are only 2 days old, do they need to break in, or do I? The levels I noticed the brightness is much louder than I usually listen to music, when watching movies, and playing as loud, there was no brightness, just clearity. I listen to mainly classic rock, but my musical interests vary from classical to some Rap. My BullMastiff likes Kid Rock. The speakers just seem to play cleaner as I pushed them, up until they were at punishing levels, then they were bright. I was listening to some Aerosmith, and pushing them pretty hard, but then again Steven Tylers voice is pretty screechy. For me they sound fantastic, and that is the important thing in my opinion.

I bought the outlet store M60's and can not find a blemish on them. Could this be a marketing tool by Axiom, sell a certain percentage of their speakers at a "Sale Price". I do not care, I am satisfied.


Product Weakness: Some brightness at punishing listening levels. Not a factor for my tastes. need to get matching Center & Surround speakers now.
Product Strengths: great sound, to me. Reasonable price, nice looking.
