Listener,
You're telling me that the W-22 compares favourably with the Studio 100's?
Well keep in mind that the w-22 is not a full range floor standing speaker. I think most people would not compare the two speakers to each other as the studio 100s have an obvious advantage. But for me since I could not spare the floor space it was a good comromise. You're not going to get the same full range sound and the imaging will also not be the same as with the 100s, but it is still incredible especially for an on wall speaker. My room is about 25'x 20' x 8'. The speakers work great in a room this size. I now believe that there is no such thing as overkill for the subwoofer. I have never heard the m3s but have heard that they are slightly warmer than the m22s and have a little more bass.
The great thing about axiom is that you have 30 days to try them out. I honestly do not think you will be dissapointed. Even though I wish i had bought a larger sub I'm not really dissapointed plus I know I can still squeeze more performance out of the sub with better placement.
