Axiom M80 v2

[RakeAngle]

I'm tempted by both the ads and reviews to order a pair of these. However, Axiom's use of metal dome tweeters gives me pause. I've owned ProAcs, B&Ws, and Harbeths with metal dome tweeters - unnaturally bright treble (even with tubes). I will be using these speakers primarily for music. (I own Mackies and Tannoys - metal dome tweets - for monitoring purposes, not for pleasure, believe me!) Any comments, suggestions?

The Axiom does not prove itself to be a very good example of engineering in the NRC measurements available on Soundstage's website.
