I currently am within the 30 day trial period. I have 2 m50
fronts, vp150 center, 2 qs8's for sr/sl and 2 qs8's for SB's. I started with the M22's for fronts but they had a poping sound fromt the woofer during bassy scense even crossed over at 80hz. I sent them back and got the m50's. I have had them for about a week. Would I notice a significant diffrence with the m60's? Would they better match the vp150? Thanks.

ahhhhh upgradeitis stikes the newbie

Welcome by the way....I wish I could help on this one, I've never heard the M50's but I know there is many on here we call the M50 posse that love them. I believe there is some differences slightly in sound. I don't like to use words, but I've heard some say the 50's are a little more laid back, and the 60's are a little more bright or forward.

Good Luck and hope someong else chimes in for ya

I can give you my 2 cents worth since I have gone from M22-M50-M60. Yep, tried them all.. I had the 22s for about 2 years and loved them. No complaints at all. In fact, sometimes I think about getting another set because of their tight, crisp sound. I decided I wanted a little fuller sound though and bass from the mains so I went to the 50s. Loved them but I did notice a difference in them and the 22s. The 50s were more laid back-to me that meant not as crisp or sharp as the 22s. Not that that was bad, just different. So I kept reading about the 60s and their mid range and bass and decided to try them. I love them and they give me the fullness, the bass when I turn off my sub, the better and sharper mid range and the crispness that I like. All of the Axioms are great. The 60s produce a little bit sharper and crisper detailed sound than the 50s but I don't think you can say that they're better, they are just a little different. However, saying all that, I am glad that I went to the 60s.

I have M50s and am very satisfied with them; however.....I use my M50s with M3s for center and surrounds.

If I had a bunch of money invested in VP150s and QS8s; I'd go with M60s for a better match.

I have had the M50's and the M80's. What others have posted is true. The M50's are a little more laid back then the M80's.

Truth be told the M50's are my favorite speaker in the Axiom line.

I know you asked about the M60's but from what others have said, the M80's and the M60's are close to the same sound but the M80 goes a little louder.

I auditioned the M50s up against a pair of M22s. At first, I thought they sounded even. After a week or so, the booksheves surpassed the towers, so I had no choice but to return the M50s. While the 50s had a very pleasant bass presence, I found that they were weaker in the mids so in my opinion the 22s were a clear winner. I haven't heard the 60s, but others who have had both state that they are similar.

Yup; no question about it.......speakers are like cars.

I love my open Jeep.

They love their minivan.

Wayne,

I was certain FordPrefect would have chosen a Mustang or a Cougar.
