LOL. But, I couldn't say that if I didn't have any experience with them....

Those on-wall M22's will go away when I buy some M50's, then move the bookshelf M22's up to their place. Then the only one left will be the in/on wall VP150, which I don't currently have an issue with. The M2 at the top is a bookshelf speaker. It doesn't add much to the overall sound, except to help anchor sound to the center a bit.

If the M80's are a 10, then I'd rate the bookshelf M22's an 8, and the on-wall M22's a 6. But, that's my preference. To me, it seems that cabinet volume means everything when it comes to sound quality. This is not a stab at Axiom. I think they did an exceptional job with them. It's just a physical limitation of the design, regurdless of who the manufacturer is.

You can't beat the on-wall speakers for looks, which is what most people seem to want today. But I think that you will sacrafice some sound quality in that decision.
