>>This has me scared. Should i REALLY be spending more money here?

Don't be worrying. You're looking for music speakers, right ?

The problem is that Home Theater now accounts for something like 90% of all speaker sales (from a couple of audio shops I frequent) and the M40s are one of the few models in the Axiom line which don't make a lot of sense for a pure HT (with a sub) system. M40s are like M3s except they also give nice extended bass without a sub -- but if you already HAVE a sub and are listening primarily to movies then M40s don't give you much more than M3s. M50s and up have a place because they will play louder and fill larger rooms than M3s/M22s/M40s.

This board is a pretty good mix of music people and HT people so the M40 is better understood here. It's a great music speaker in a world that mostly buys HT systems.
