Yes, I know the thread is a year old, but I thought I'd pass on the following. There is a reviewer named Don Lindich who does a syndicated column (sometimes called "Sound Advice") on audio and digital photography. He used to have a website at donlindich.com but it has been down for a while. You can still google his name and get his weekly columns.

Anyway, Mr. Lindich highly recommends both Axiom and Ohm speakers. Specifically, the M3 & M22 were his highest recommendations for low-priced speakers. A few of his comments can be found here on the Axiom website. He also owned and recommended the Ohm Microwalsh and larger Ohms if you had the $$$. One thing I never read was his opinion on the Axiom towers (M60 & M80). Given his love for the M3 & M22, I'm sure he liked them, but his specific comments would have been interesting. Not sure why his web presence is gone, but his columns are still in the newspaper every week or so.
