Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners M3 compared to the M22

I know the M3 vs M22 must have been discussed before.

I have a set of M3s and a set of M22s right here with me and I want to ask a question to others who have done a direct comparison of these 2 speakers.

Do you find the M3 to have a much more harsh sound than the M22?
It is much more apparent when listen to hard rock / metal music.

I can't really listen to metal on the M3 speakers without using Yamaha's YPAO set to check Natural (it trails off the highest frequencies) After that I like the M3 very much.

The M22 sounds best with parametric EQ turned off. Just plug em in and go. There is noticably less bass from the M22 though.

Has anyone else observed the same thing?
