Just found this Axiom forum which is great since they, along with Ascend, are my final considerations for new speakers.

If I go Axiom I'm going VP-100 for the center and QS4 for the surround. What I'm having trouble with is picking the fronts. I'm interested in knowing not so much which you'd recommend, because each person will likely just recommend the one they bought, as much as WHY you went with that speaker for your front.

For example:
Room size (and if so what are your dimensions)?
You were looking for a slightly brighter sound M2 was more that kind?
You don't have a sub & the M60 suits your need with its low freq. ability?
Money (i.e. may have wanted the M60/M80 but it was out of reach)?

My situation is a 10' X 21' room (long but narrow). I will have a Hsu sub so low freq won't be an issue so book shelfs like the M2 or M3 are certainly a viable option.

The M50 is out (if I'm going floor I'm moving up to M60) and the M80 is out (too much speaker for my need and will push me above my spending limit). I'm looking at the M2, M3, M22 & M60.

Thanks
