My motivation is to size according to my room and music / video needs. Not under gunned or over kill. Budget is always a consideration but hey I think the Axiom speakers are a real value and it is within my means to spend more. My impression from reading this forum is the M2ti would be a fit. Truthfully they sounded more popular then the M3ti’s .I would use floor standing speakers if I had the room. If I wall mounted the M22 (almost 20" long) my wife would crack her gourd when she came in the front door. As it is she is bending my arm to get the speakers done in egg shell white. Ouch an extra $95 a pair! I have a real challenge installation. I am going to confess I bought Bose speakers about 8 years ago because of the size and my install issues. I have come to realize just how poor they have served me. I am ready to upgrade and correct this problem. I appreciate your take on all this. How about the subwoofer? Yah or nay? Dale
