I spent about 1.5 hours listening to the M60 vs. 2.2's at his place. The first thing that I noticed during the first switch was the difference in the soundstage/openness between the two speakers. That immediately swung the WOW factor towards the Axioms. What jumped into my head was 800 vs 1500....that was immediately a no-brainer for me, but then had to remind myself that Craig got the 2.2's for 50% off, which then makes the decision more difficult. The M60 did more to my liking than the 2.2.

I like the M22's, but for me the highs are a bit harsh in the long run. The M60 seems to be a bit more refined in the highs, if it is the same tweeter, maybe the crossover network has something to do with it.

The M60 is nice, I would not hesistate recommending people having a look at it if looking for a floorstander.
