i am waiting for a pair of M60's to show up in the Manfield Beech. So far no luck.

When you're choosing one particular item, within a companies product line, then wanting that in one of a dozen or so non standard finish options, that's a stuff call. If these would show up as B stock, your savings would be $118.00. Yes the Axiom Auction could save you a little bit more than that, but at the expense of having to wait.

You might want too call Axiom and inquire as to how many times has these speakers showed up at auction, in the last year or two . That might help to bring into perspective, what you're trying to accomplish by getting your chose of M60's, and saving some money at the same time as well. You may need to be extremely lucky here, as well as patient. Remember an old adage states,"A watched pot never boils". Good luck.

Yes I have considered all of this. My problem is that I really enjoy my system with the M22's as the fronts and hate to spend any more than I have to incase the improvement is not as noticeable as I hope. I have even considered going with blacks for the front but think I would bite the bullet and pay for the finish to keep the system all the same color. I will probably wait a while to see if any pop up on the deal page, some type of sale or maybe even a used pair, which is impossible to find.
Thanks for the thoughts.

If you call and say you want a pair of B stock M22's in a standard finish, you may be surprised at the time frame. Not that i have ever called and asked for a specific speaker that wasn't currently listed on the auction page or anything....
