Just out of curiousity...what made you get the Rockets? Are you going to have a seperate HT and music speaker? After your comments, I thought about ordering a pair of those and comparing them too...but I really like the M80's. I'm sure they aren't much different than your M60's. My friends think they are bright..and they are a little on the bright side...but I tend to like that sound. Once I got my ICBM hooked up and put in an SACD....OMG! I couldn't believe the detail I get out of the Axioms. I think I would find it hard to believe that any speaker could be more detailed than these. The only thing that bothered me was the center channel, and I decided to not angle it. It actually blends a little better now. So, I'm going to put these through their paces in the next week and if I decide to return them..I'll give the Rockets a chance. They are a bit more pricey than the Axioms though.

I am pretty curious what prompted your purchase of both sets though. Are you just in a comparison phase too, or did you have an intent for the Rockets before you bought them?

Thanks for all of you comments and suggestions! I'm hoping to be a proud owner of one of these two sets of speakers soon. I'm all for this direct buying thing. The Outlaws got me hooked.

Thanks again!
