Thanks for the input, even if it's not a direct comparison.
The reason I was asking is essentially the point you made: If the outdoor speakers sound just as good as the indoor ones, there's no reason not to consider an ourdoor for indoor use if the color/finish works for you....
I've been wondering about M3s as studio/editing monitors for awhile, and the white, almond and Cape Cod could ALL work for the editing rack....

Stymie,
What mounts did you use for that installation? And where did you get them?
Regards,

Good question. I went to one of the big box stores (EE)and picked up a pair of universal speaker mounts. I can't remember the brand name and have misplaced the extra pieces/directions. When I find them I'll post the name.
Unfortunately, the universal holes on the brackets didn't match up with the mounting holes on the back of the speakers. So, I went to Home Depot and picked up two nail brackets (basically sheet metal with existing holes) designed to keep two side beside pieces of wood together. They were ~$0.50 each. I used those in combination with the universal speaker mounts. If you look closely at the pic, you see the sheet metal sticking out above the speakers.
I need to go back and trim the metal to give it a cleaner look. It may not be ideal, but I like the down angle that I was able to achieve once mounted.
edit - I was under the impression that Electronic Express was nationwide, but it appears to be local to Tennessee. So, it's not as big as the other big box stores as I thought.

Mark, Trust me already! The Algonquins sound as good as or better than the indoor M3s or I wouldn't have approved them for production. I'm a cranky old f--- and bitch about even the slightest edginess, coloration or non-linearity I detect in any existing or new speaker design from Axiom. I did extended double-blind listening tests to the Algonquin prototype(s) against the indoor M3s and went away happy. I'm so glad that Whatfurrer was impressed with the Algonquin's sound quality. You'd be making no audible sacrifices in sound quality if you used the Algonquins as monitors. Regards,
