I am extremely happy with the Axioms. I had a pair of M60ti for a long time and moved those to the bedroom when I got the M80v3. Granted, I have never compared them to really high end speakers but they blew away the old Klipsch speakers I had before. I don't think I have really even experienced their full potential yet. Everytime I upgrade some other piece they blow me away all over again.

I know about the kids at home thing. My 21 year old moved back home with girlfriend and baby so my free choice time is suddenly limited as well.

Enjoy your new speakers!
