I went with Sats & Subs systems a couple of decades ago so I have no experience with Axiom floor standers. For me, there is no reason to use floor standers as the M22s are so stalwart for mids/highs & they blend seamlessly with the powerful EP800s.

On our BC Day long weekend, I got into the sauce a bit & fired up Eric Clapton - 'Live in Hyde Park' DVD on my HT system & tortured my wife & daughter with it til the wee hours, ha!. I hadn't previously heard it with the EP-800s in the mix. They added a whole new sense of smoothness & low end to this live concert that I hadn't heard before.

For Clapton fans, 'Live in Hyde Park', despite its age, is still the best IMO - same concert that I saw in Vancouver several months later...
