I seem to also be joining the axiom excess club, I have had or still have the following:
m60's
m22's
m3's
vp150
qs8's

I find the m60’s irreplaceable
The m3's a decent little speaker
The m22's......not for me
The vp150.....not for me
The qs8’s.....not for me

I think the m3's can be better compared to the paradigm mini monitors, although it’s not much of a comparison. Not to take anything away from the m3's, they are a nice speaker, I just think the mini's are on another level.

Bottom line. You don’t know unless you audition in your own home, axiom is awesome for their 30 day policy and make some great products. In the end let your ears be the judge.
