spiff,

You may just push me over the edge to the M60s - I spent 3 more hours tonight listening to the Ascend 340s and the M22s and have decided to go with the Axioms - still with the desire to have the fullness with the detail. I am considering ordering the M60s and keeping the M22s to A/B test. Definitely will order the QS8s as well.

This was a decision that was months in the making and I am glad to finally be decided one way or the other. I really appreciate all of your comments (as well as the all others on this and other forums) over the past months and will keep you posted on what I end up with.

Mark
