It may not help (since I'm guessing you're already aware of it), but this thread is a good source of feedback on the subject. Some other threads that might bear a little looking at would be this one and this one .

Speaker preferences often come down to personal taste. Different approaches to speaker design yield different sound - some (like Axiom and some other Canadian brands) focus in a precise reproduction across the audible frequency range, which some people find "bright" because some higher frequency material shows up that other speakers might not present as well. As to which would be "better" between the two, I don't know that there is a universally accurate answer - it comes down to what a person likes.
