Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Advice/Thoughts about M 22 and M60

Hi:

My HT setup, in the basement ( roughly 20 Feet X 40 Feet)is as follows:

Pioneer Elite 82
M22 fronts
VP150 Center
QS8 Surrounds
EP-350 Sub

I have a stereo setup in my living room, which have the B&W 603's, paired with a Yamaha stereo receiver.
The Axiom speakers are really very clear, transparent, and crisp. I have no issues with sound/wattage either.

Though I do sometimes feel that they are'nt as warm as the B&W's.

I have a couple of questions.

1> Are the M22's not as warm, or would one say they are not as muddy when compared to the B&W 602's?

2> Would it significantly change the way the system would sound, if i were to use the M60's instead of the M22's,
even though the crossover on the receiver routes stuff under to 80Hz to the Sub woofer?

Looking at the speaker characteristics on the axiom website I see that the M60's have a better low freq response,
as compared to the M22's.
But for frequencies over 80 Hz is pretty much the same.

Wanted to see if anyone else out on the board had similar issues, and/or any thoughts.

Thanks in advance.
