Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo large room, small speakers

There is ongoing debate about M3 vs M22; M22 strictly speaking goes slightly deeper on bass, but M3 has a bit of a bass "bump" which gives the illusion of deeper bass without the bass bump being obvious (as it is with, say, Paradigm Atoms). I really like M3s, even though I ended up with M40s.

M2s are wonderful speakers but really benefit from a sub.

I haven't had a chance to compare M3s with Algonquins; if they are close enough in sound then Algonquins would be an interesting choice because you could haul them outside for the summer.
