I listened to the monitor 7s and studio 20s in a B&M. I really wasn't that impressed with the 7s. I ordered m22s unheard because of advise I received at this board and at others. I made the right choice. If you would order the m22s and your tastes are similar to mine, you would have a difficult time returning them. Return shipping would be maybe $25. That's not alot to pay when your considering a pair of $2300 floorstanders. I may be wrong, but Axiom probably has an upgrade policy if you need tower speakers.
