Thanks, Jack. Yeah, they were beech and I think the setup is still on hall of fame page. The setup is pretty much the same in this house too.

About comparing the two directly, I heard the Studio 100s today and they sounded very good. In fact they were more open sounding than my m22s but that may not be a fair comparison. I remember thinking at one time that they both sounded very similar.

Jeff, it is true that the best test is with your own ears, but remember I bought the axioms without listening to them and I am quite happy with them. Let's see what others have to say.
