I agree. That was just a joke. Hey, I'm bias about Axioms and personally have no desire to buy anything else. I'm also bias towards Emotiva amps and processors. The even deeper driving force for me though is value. If I find a product that offers more value (price, service, quality) then I want to look at it. So anyway, my original question was if anyone had heard the ERMs and could compare them to the 22s.
