All is well, I placed the order for my long-awaited wood M22s! They'll probably be the last speakers I need, unless we get a retirement house with some sort of mini great room, then maybe M80s.

I do like the Walnut, Mojo; but I went with Cherry:Nutmeg.

For no particular reason I'll add that another reason Axiom should continue to prominently offer the M22 is that besides sounding awesome, they're aesthetically beautiful. The H-W-D proportions are perfect. I've found no other speakers that that look as refined as they sound. If anyone has any other interesting speakers they've seen, post a link.
