Thanks for the input, however I'm currently not in the market for floorstanding speakers. I'm looking primarily at Bookshelf speakers.

The big 3 on my list are the Onix x-ls, Ascend CBM-170, and the Axiom line of bookshelves.

Would there be any point of auditioning the M60's? Would the sound quality of the M60's be similar to that of the M3 + a decent sub?
