Hi canuck_dan,
You'll find either the M3ti or M22t Axiom more neutral and smoother than the Titans, which are quite good small speakers (years ago I reviewed them for an A/V magazine I edited and I still have a pair. I keep a number of different brands of bookshelf speakers around for comparative listening tests).
Everything Wid posted is true about the Axioms, but there are some slight differences in tonal balance between the M22ti and the M3ti. In the midrange, the M22 has a little more clarity and detail on vocals, percussion, choral, and lots of instruments. It's fairly subtle, but it's audible on immediate A/B comparisons. The M3ti is a little softer in the mids, a bit more "laid-back".
If are not planning to use a subwoofer for greater deep bass output, the M3ti has more perceptible bass than the M22ti. It's a bit "fuller" or richer sounding in the low octaves. The M22 is a touch "leaner". The M22ti really excels when you add a subwoofer (and so does the tonally very similar M2i).
Regards,
