I set up my home theater with a Pioneer 912K and JBL's SCS150 surround speakers. While this works great for movies, e.g. opera DVDs require better speakers. I am thinking of getting a pair of good bookshelf speakers so I can listen to stereo sound via the 2nd speaker output of the pioneer receiver. The room is small - 13"x10". I can't have tower speakers... Having read a lot of reviews I am now leaning towards the Axiom M22ti. The anemic bass worries me a bit, though I don't know if opera really requires a strong bass?? How bad is the M22 bass really? Also, I have the JBL sub that could support the M22tis (would this setup work?).
