I did a music listening session vs the Boston Acoustic SubSat 6 system, which are great little speakers, but it was pretty clear the M22's were the better speaker. The Boston's are more forward, but they are missing a lot of the lower midrange that the M22's offer. These M22's are don't miss anything all the way down until the subwoofer takes over.

I haven't done a test vs the VR2's yet, I'm sure I'll get around to it soon. I may end up grabbing my folk's Yamaha HTR 5890 for these Axioms, and buying them a Denon 1910 in its place (to make their life easier for switching between the satellite and bluray player).
