spiritride,
I received my m22Ti's today and the Axiom 24" speaker stands as well. I like the stands. Easy setup (4 screws each), look nice. Color is jet black. Substrate appears to be MDF or HDF (plenty strong). Veneer is hard plastic (sorta textured formica-ish)--easy to clean with a damp cloth; high quality. Top shelf is m22 shaped (about an inch smaller all the way round). Upright has predrilled channel with a port top & bottom to accept speaker wire. (I run 8 gauge, however, which is too thick for the channel; but 10 gauge looks like it will fit and anything thinner will easily fit.) The bottom piece is a nice size (not too big, not too small; couple inches larger than the m22's footprint). Base comes with rubber feet and spikes (your choice). The one drawback to the current design is that there's no obvious way to secure the speaker to the stand (the speaker just stands there, so to speak). Apparently the new ones coming in late January have addressed this.
