I researched and researched and then did some listening and then some more research and then convinced the wife that I have always wanted a really nice pair of speakers and that I would keep them forever and that I don't spend money on other toys so . . . .

I bought a pair of M22's. . .then convinced her that I needed to upgrade to M60's. . .then convinced her that I needed surround sound. . . etc etc and poof. A complete Axiom home theater system with a wonderful Hsu sub at its side.

By the way, she hates the sub because it is ugly but does appreciate the tension that it adds to movies. And she knows that I would grab it right after the kid in case of a fire!

Oh yeah. . . and I worked really hard for all the $ to buy these wonderful speakers.
