I have the M22 on-wall, VP100 on/in wall and the M22 bookshelf speakers. I haven't heard the XTR-50, but from what I can see of the design, I'd be willing to bet that the Axioms probably sound better. If at all possible I'd buy both and compare them. The Axioms have a 30 day return policy (you pay return shipping). I prefer the sound from the bigger cabinet M22. You lose some sound quality when you go thin.

When listening to the Axioms, remember to wall mount them and set them to large in order for the ports to function fully before judging them.
