An even simpler question is whether you prefer either a warmer or cooler sound? The M3s would be the warmer and more relaxed sound while the M22s are a bit cooler and sound slightly foreward. They reportedly have about the same tonal characteristics, therefore a similar Axiom Sound.

A very inexpensive way to get into 5.1 would be with five M3s.-something that's even been suggested by a couple of "Professional" reviewers.-Just a thought.
