Polk Audio?

Yeah, they're pretty good.. until you hear something better.

The M22's will wipe the floor with Polk Audio. I put Polk and JBL in the same quality category, which is one or two notches below. Add Mission to that category. And Paradigm (not Paradigm Reference, those are Axiom quality but twice the price, if not more).

So, yeah, Axiom is better than Polk. The M22's detail and midrange are just too darn good to pass on.
