And here we have it, the final verdict is in.

{drum roll}

The original drivers were faulty!

Replaced them with the 2 new 6 inch woofers that Joe passed along and voila, smooth sweet tunes of a cello WITHOUT a buzz in the bunch!!
Funny thing then happened when i started listening a bit more closely to be sure the abnormalities had disappeared. I noticed the buzz had gone from the woofers but now i was hearing a buzzy distortion on the first note of the song in the tweeter on the left speaker. After replaying the first notes several times over and starting to look a bit distressed again, my fiance pointed out that the new 'buzz' i was hearing was actually a MISPLAYED twang coming from the cello!!!

Well paint my butt blue and call me smurf-like, i was dumbfounded.
The clarity of the damn speaker and the quality of the recording was actually throwing me off.
So that was the end of decision day. I'm keeping the M60s for good, sending back the M22s (no bookshelfs for me but nice little sounding buggers) AND i hopped onto my Axiom shopping cart to finish my purchasing.
Today i've ordered a VP150 and QS8s (boston cherry, factory outlet) and a pristine Ep350 (boston cherry) to match the set!
Amie don't let me down. I want those bad boys by the end of next week!! Heck, i simply gotta get that dvd player sooner than later now don't i?
