I know what you mean about how much better they sound. Its like the amp just takes control of the drivers and makes them perform to their full potential. The reviewer also notes how his drivers were visibly moving to full excursion with the Axiom amp. I haven't heard the M22s with that amp but I see its rated to 200w max which is a lot of power for a speaker that size. To cleanly reproduce transients its going to demand that much instantaneous power and then some so no surprise that it would sound incredible with the a1400-8.
Anyway,I know the problem. I also know resistance is futile.
