Hi Randy,

Good to know, about the difference in the sound quality!
The sound compression was mentioned in an article. I cannot find it again, but they had MA GR, B&W 601,
Paradigm and some other small speakers. No big deal, I saw enough good things about Axiom.

I'm going with the outlet store since everyone thinks it is the way to go.

I will do a search on the differences between versions just because curiosity.

Must admit most of the music I have put on the computer and yes, they are in the MP3 format but 256VBR.
Poor speakers will have to put up with it. \:\)

Also, I'm going to take a look at the subs but will wait before buying until I get M22's and see if they are ok for my needs by themselves.

Thanks, Arthur
