Axiom went ID well before 2005, I bet those speakers would have been in the store longer than a year or 2.
I would suggest doing the step program like many of us did, buy the M22s, see how you like them and as many have said, a good sub really helps you appreciate them even more. Once you have tried the M22's for a couple weeks, if you decide you want more you still have a couple weeks to trade up to the M60's or M80's for no additional shipping charges, you just pay the price differential, at least that was how it worked in the past.
