Thanks for the info Jake, I appreciate it. Yeah you are correct that even though the msrp price for the Rti6 is $550 cdn I can get it for around $290cdn shipping included which is actually $70 cheaper than the M3. I wish my budget was that high as I'd pick up the M22's in a heartbeat but unfortunately it's around the $300 - $350cdn mark right now.

Although I was happy with the performance of the Rti6 the amount of plastic on the face of the speaker and the grill made it look cheap. The grills were especially cheap, plastic and thin. for a $550 pair of speaker I guess I expected a bit nmore. One of the reasons I like the Axioms was because of, for lack of a better word, the fact they looked "hand made". It looks like quality production.

Thanks for the heads up on the Hearing Things Forum. I'll check it out asap. Keep the opinions coming!
