Have any Axiom owners compared their Axioms to another brand like Canton, Definitive, Infinity, or Focal?

I have listened to Canton and Focal and like them both. But I'm also very curious about the M60 towers from Axiom and the VP150 V2 center.

Thoughts? Comments? Snide Remarks?

A friend of mine has the M60's and we compared them to my Dali Ikon 6's when I bought them. The general consensus being the M60's had a little more bass and the Ikon's had better imaging and were a little more natural/real sounding in the mids and especially in the high's. For 2x the price though, the differences weren't earth shattering. This is totally subjective and your mileage may vary. I will say that, even in light of my comment on the price, I ended up with the Ikon's...so maybe that means something, maybe it doesn't. It was enough of a difference to me and both sets were within my budget at the time.

What is imaging?

If you don't mind me asking...

I would consider imaging to be the ability for the speakers to present the material in such a way that you can close your eyes and "place" where the different musicians are in the "room". For example, the guitarist is on the left, drums the right, and vocals in the middle. It's not usually that clear cut probably and it's definitely subjective in my mind, but it gets tossed about in reviews a lot and people generally have a fairly good idea of what it means-even if it's not the most accurate descriptor out there.
