Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo M22s vs M3s

Yeah, give them a try. Your English isn't bad, by the way. There are some guys around here that must be using translator software - and they live in Texas!

I have a pair of M3's and I've listened to M22's before (although not at high sound levels).

I would say it comes down to personal taste. The M3's are laid back and the M22's are forward. I am very impressed with the M3's but if I could swap them for M22's I would most likely do that because of my personal taste.

A lil more about my experience with the M3's... Being that they are more laid back I've found even at dbs in the mid 90's that the sound is still pretty clear and not overly fatiging. At low levels I think they sound extremely *comfortable*. In fact I'd say these speakers maintain a pretty consitant sound no matter how loud you like your music.

Hey Waldis,

Did you order the M3s? I did and am listening to them almost non stop - but am going to return them when the M22s I ordered come - since I like forward, clear, sharp sound.

The M3s are very good in my opinion. Took me a few hours to appreciate them - probably had to do with having them too high up on the top shelf - because I wanted to A/B compare with my Paradigm Titans which were at ear level. The Titans are now in the bedroom and the M3s are pretty close to ear level and they sound great.

I ordered the M22s cause I don't want a "What If" feeling - I expect I will like those even more. As Allan pointed out - just about $85 more if I return the M3s and order the M22s from the outlet page. And wait a couple weeks longer.

Thanks all for the advice.

The Titans are good speakers by the way, but clearly not as good as out of position M3s. To much boxy noise and exagerated bass (except on some rock albums where extra bass is welcome - but I have a sub so the famous Paradigm bass hump is pointless).

Ugh - I am going to have to find a better picture of myself or put my cute daughter back on!

no donald, i like the look.

its sort of that 'angry, confused, stressed out, city dweller look'.. i reckon its a fair representation of your daily life

the daily grind of a big city life would absolutely kill me.. i dont know how ya'll do it???

What is the "singing bush" about?

its a line from a movie.. 'THE THREE AMIGOS'!!

with chevy chase, martin short, and steve martin. its a goofy western set in the 1920's. these guys play actors and they are hired to go save a mexican village from an evil ruler called 'EL WAPPO'. the movie is literally so goofy and stupid that i nearly wet myself everytime i watch it. the movie is simple slapstick, pratfall kinda humor, and i love it.. go rent the movie, and you will understand why i find the line, "excuse me, are you the singing bush?', so funny!!

BigJohn - thanks for the explanation. I always thought it was a G.W. reference!

Don't hold me to this, but I think it was El Guapo (Guapo means "pretty" in Spanish). Maybe any who speak Spanish can clear it up for us. And who did the voice of the singing bush? No peeking now. If I don't get a quick answer, I'm gonna assume somebody is using google?

I think guapo is usually applied to men - more like "handsome" is in English. Bonita is usually used for pretty (by my Salvadorean friends anyway).
