Order and send it to my house, I can keep it here until you convince your wife how much you need it.

>>> But that's okay, as so am I. The 500 (or 600) will definitely fill in the detail you would be missing. And then when you fire up the movie, it will provide the output to go along with it for the cannon fire. I am in total agreement with Dave. And if you do decide upon either the 500 or 600 and are the proud owner of a typical home with interior walls made from sheet-rock you *may* want to consider having a handy supply of this... ...material, you'll need it from time to time.

My home was built in 1910. What's this sheet-rock substance of which you speak? I'm pretty certain that the EP500 might just destroy the whole house.

Haha, just to show you how crazy I am, I am willing to get M60s over M22s just because I will be able to get a set of M3s instead of M2s for my centre channel and it will match the 6.5" woofers on the M60s...Even though the room will be CRAMPED. It takes a special woman to love guys like us. (don't go all self righteous on me now!)

Actually, you might want to consider getting M2s instead of M3s, as it's that 5.25" midwoofer that seems to make the most difference in Axiom speakers.

I think you may want to stick with the M2's as the M60's are said to still have the same sound as the M22's...... or go dual VP 150's as has been shown on the forum looks cool.

Yes Robb, as Ken and Jason indicate, there's no special matching that would be going on with the M60s and M3s. The 6 1/2" woofers in the M60s cover below about 200Hz; the 5 1/4" midrange takes over above that, so in the important midrange the M3 would be using the different 6 1/2" driver. M22/M2, M60/M22, etc. are better matches.

That might be true on paper and in theory, but I'm not so sure anymore. I experimented a little and put the M3's between the M80's and I preferred them over the M22's. I thought they matched better. I've since put the M22's back as a center because they're just too big to mount on my wall as back surrounds where the M3's normally reside. I may end up using the M22's for another room and move the M3's back as a center channel.

[>>I experimented a little and put the M3's between the M80's and I preferred them over the M22's.
What part did you like about them compared to the M22 centres?
When the time comes, I will most likely order M22s with M3 centres wired in parrallel. I am going to be building a studio as well downstairs and want to be able to test both the M3 and the M22 in the studio to see which I like better. Also, the M3s are easily sourced by themselves If I decide to go another route for a centre channel some day.
The reason I don't want to go with M2 centres is simply because I would rather have M3s to put elsewhere in my house when the time comes than M2's.
Screw the Timber and woofer matching, I am probably going to use the M3s as centres in parallel, I suspect I will like the dialog out of the M3s better than the M2s for some odd reason.
