Kiwi,

I use the M22's as surrounds instead of the QS8's partially due to my liking direct radiating speakers and not wanting to put the 14 odd holes in the wall of a rent house I am currently in. They work extremely well in that capacity...although the QS8's have been the darlings of any review I have read regarding Axiom sets of speakers.

Here's another idea: It may do you justice to reset the receiver's settings to defaults and re-calibrate. Whether or not you use the auto setup / equalization feature on the 3805 may render you different results...SPL meter and AVIA disk has served me well so far...although I covet a Denon 3805... but not necessarily for the auto setup feature.

You may want to try the above first before considering shelling out more cash for an additional set of speakers that you may not need.

BTW, Denver, your link does not work...

Hope this helps,
