Tomtuttle. The Brystons are a little out of my price range. I like the price to performance of Axiom speakers. I own a pair of the M2's that are set up in my bedroom and really enjoy them. Like I posted I was intrigued by the Bryston minis configuration and three way design in a bookshelf speaker. Axiom does not have a three way bookself. I figure the larger speaker enclosure would help them extend a little deeper than the M22's and the dedicated midrange would also give a little more detail and dynamics.
