I auditioned the RTi6 series and Axiom M22's for a month. They both sounded great, but I noticed more detail from the M22's. I went back and forth hundreds of times with music and movies; driving my wife crazy! I kept coming back to the Axiom's because of the detail, clarity, and awesome midrange. I thought the Eagle’s Hotel California CD provided a good sampling of the punch and detail you can feel from the Axioms (SVS subwoofer also assisted). Hope this helps a little. Speakers are definitely a personal preference.
