How do the AV123 RS1000 towers compare to the Axiom M80 V2's that have received gr8 reviews?
Have never heard either personally (hence the question)
The original prices on these two were far apart, but the RS1000 with their discounted pricing for the pair is pretty close the Axioms M80 pricing.
I don't think this is a fair comparison myself. I have not heard either one, but I make my statement from the specs themselves.
