Hello NeverHappy,

You are welcome for the information. You are indeed correct, the M3s would match your M50s much better since they use the same driver. I am using M2i's to match the M22's I plan to purchase in the future.

Although, I will see how the M2i's sound with the new sub as mains around Christmas, I may just buy M2i's for the mains depending on how they sound with the big SVS 16-46PC Plus. It is impressive how much sound, and how clear that sound is, coming from these small speakers. My mind keeps telling me that I "need" the larger ones for the mains though...hehe.

Mmm...I had shielding difficulties with my Tube television with the smaller M2, you may encounter a larger problem with the M3 since it uses a larger driver and therefore a larger magnet assembly. In another thread an Axiom staffer stated that only the Axiom center channel speakers are shielded enough for top of television placement, and that the bookshelf units are only partially shielded for at least 6" spacing away from a tube TV.

Later,
