Axiom vs PSB??

[Stereo99]

Hi: I'm planning to upgrade my front 3 speakers soon...I have the following Axiom M-60ti,Axiom VP-150 center channel driven with a Yamaha RXA-1000. I'm either going to just upgrade the M60's to either V3 or V4 M60's or looking at PSB 's Imagine X2T Towers & matching channel Imagine XC Centre. Wondering are the PSB's better then the Axiom's??If the answer is yes in what way?Thanks for any advice!!

I have not heard the Imagine but I did hear the Image, In depth and control the PSB should edge the M60s, In a theater setup it might be very difficult to notice much difference as tonally they should not be so different since both manufacturer have worked with the NRC room, My Recollection of the M60 maybe wrong but I feel maybe the PSB may be able to have a little more finesse in their sound.

Axiom is great only problem they sell direct but I think they have 30 days return policy if you buy new. I would strongly recommend to audition as sometimes people may perceive sound differently and not to say I did not hear both speakers in the same room so it's all the help I can provide but feeling the Imagine is a step up to the Image, I feel the Imagine will sound richer than the M60s.

Can you audition the Imagine? Are you able to audition theM60s? I know from experience dishing out that much money on speakers, I do want to make sure I audition it myself before pulling the trigger.

I have reviewed PSB Imagine XB's. As i do reviews for PSB. I have also reviewed the NAD 3020. Axiom does well in reviews. I would say this...that i did not expect to hear great things when i reviewed the PSB Imagine XB's. I was wrong, they sound great. Excellent imaging, dynamics.
