mark- i dont think the M60's would be 'overkill' in that room, but they will definitely cause some ear damage if cranked at high volumes for extended periods of time.. my whole point being, you dont have to turn the volume all the way up. i think you will be more than pleased with the detail and clarity that the 60's would provide. since cost isn;t an issue, and there is a possibility of your HT moving to a bigger room, then i think the M60's are a no-brainer over the M22's.
i noticed from your list of music, that you listen to some older stuff. i think it is fair to mention, that the precise and extremely accurate transulation the axioms provide, often bring out the flaws of badly recorded cd's. all of my old zeps and old kiss sound pretty bad due to the poor recording process.. but, well made, well recorded cd's sound better than you can imagine. you will hear them full and clear. so, just keep in mind, a precise speaker like the axioms, can be a double edged sword.
good luck in your decision, and keep us posted.
