A bookshelf speaker makes so much more sense for your room size especially since you use a sub. Move down to the M3 perhaps? It might also help that midbass problem due to its frequency response in that area you seem to prefer.

I believe that being a musician since young makes me more picky regarding how music sounds. LOL This might be a problem.

That might be something to consider. Isn't the M50 build on the same drivers as the M3?

So're the M60s and M80s... but the M50s are missing the 5.25" midrange.

Yes. The M50 is a tower version of the M3 and uses a similar crossover design IIRC. The advantages of the M50 tower over the M3 bookshelf becomes mute when you add a subwoofer to the M3's. In a room your size there is not much advantage to a tower speaker IMO.

IC. Well I guess I will play around with the speakers some more and if I still find it something missing I am gonna talk to Axiom regarding upgrading.

Yep ... I've played guitar, sax, flute, drums. piano, and some others. My dad was a professional drummer and we had very talented folks in the house all the time, when I was a kid, a 16 peice "arranged" (oxy-morom, I know) dixieland band use to practice in our living room when my dad wanted to have a block party ..... so trust me I care about the music
Most that I listen to is ripped from CDs in wav, but some is thru squeezebox internet
Like me, I'm guessing you expected to have a live concert by (pick your favorite here) in your living room everyday with the Axioms, I think there may be a limit to reproduced sound, based on the enginneering. Sometimes , some songs sound better in my car! I don't think it's my setup.

I have the W22 in-on walls I'm thinking there must be a big difference between the in-on walls vs. just the on-walls.

What I'm trying to say, but not, is let him have a chance to dial the system in, find the sweet spots before he upgrades, is disappointed etc. Seems as if most are encouraging an upgrade.
But I could be wrong, happens all the time

Ichigo, the M22s plus a good sub are superb for music. Nothing that should be there is missing. Resist evil temptations.
