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.
hello,
I'm in the same dilema. However, you mention you have M22 on walls and then at the end of your note you mention "'port' set to large". I assume you have M22 bookshelf speakers mounted using the full metal brackets or are they on stands and the M22 on walls were your 'surround speakers'?
Thank you,
tony
