I disagree with the premise that putting a biamped tower with seperate enclosure for the subwoofer is the same as a seperate sub and m22 satellites for music listening. Lower frequencies react poorly with the room when they are place far from the front and side walls (the better location for your mid and high frequencies). Roy Allison (an audiophile good guy that Axin owners can appreciate) did great research as have others on corner woofer placement which proved a far better solution to the poor room reaction ot low frequencies when placed in a tower speaker set far out into the room. Of course, time alignment then becomes an issue (solved rather neatly by todays software/hardware technology now available for proper adjustment of corner placed subs and woofs). CAVEAT EMPTOR .... of course the greatest uncertainty of all comments (and magazine reviews for that matter) regarding which speaker sounds best is that most reccommendations are very hypothetical as one must assume the reader has similiar room dimensions (and importantly acoustics) to the one doing the reveiwing. The room is a HUGE!!!! issue. Some of us listen in small apartments surrounded by huge windows while others have huge listening rooms with cathedral ceilings with rugs drapes etc...
