...especially speakers that have the potential to play much louder!

I only had my M22's for about 4+ months, but once I heard the M60's there was no going back.

I feel bad saying that though, because it makes it sound like the M22's are bad. They're not! For $400 they're amazing! Axiom squeezed every penny of that $400 into those speakers! But likewise, they've milked that $800 that the M60's go for for everything it's worth as well!

Yeah Axiom!

spiff,

You may just push me over the edge to the M60s - I spent 3 more hours tonight listening to the Ascend 340s and the M22s and have decided to go with the Axioms - still with the desire to have the fullness with the detail. I am considering ordering the M60s and keeping the M22s to A/B test. Definitely will order the QS8s as well.

This was a decision that was months in the making and I am glad to finally be decided one way or the other. I really appreciate all of your comments (as well as the all others on this and other forums) over the past months and will keep you posted on what I end up with.

I have almost the same room dimensions. 60's and 8's are the right choice for my room. I don't think you'll be disappointed. I have my surrounds wall mounted. What receiver will you have?

I have the Pioneer 45TX - just want to make sure that I am OK with the distance from the M60s - only sitting about 9 feet back from them.

Sounds like another listening session

Too bad the time on the 340's is up...I'd like to compare their fullness to the M60's as well.

The problem is that I think one more comparison like that would throw me over the edge right now.

I too spent MONTHS deciding on a pair of speakers. I bought and paid for Energy C-3's, Axiom M22's, Energy Veritas 2.2's and then finally the Axiom M60's. Not to mention the dozens of speakers I demo'd in stores and other peoples homes. I'm happy to say that I'm done. I don't even have a desire to hunt down the next best thing. I'm very content with the M60's.
