It’s probably old age playing tricks on me again but hasn’t there been some talk of Axiom making a in/on wall version of the M80s?
I have M22s and M80s and feel the M22s with a subwoofer rival the M80s with a subwoofer. While I haven’t heard the W22s by all accounts I read they are very comparable to the M22.
If your willing to risk about a $30 return shipping charge (guessing based on the return shipping for bookshelf speaker) you could order some W22s and have a listen in your own room. Additionally if there are other brands you are interested in that also allow returns you could arrange to have them all shipped to you at the same time and compare them directly. You’re making a very big change so I think it would be worth spending a little time and money on doing some in home demos.
