I am interested in the epic grand master 500 set up and am wondering how much I am losing going to the m22 speakers over the m60. My girlfriend is keen on having the speakers on the wall and I am having a tough time convincing her otherwise. Is there a large difference in sound quality between the 2 sets? Will I be disapointed that I didnt get the m60? I guess thats a pretty subjective question but any thoughts will help. thanks for any feedback

I own both and, other than the M60s having a bit more bottom end and the ability to play louder, there is not a significant difference in the sound quality. With a sub, you really won't be missing much.
Having said that, the reason that I own both is because I bought the M22s, and immediately started wondering how much better the M60s were. Now that I have the 60s, I'm pining for the 80s. It's a disease for which money is the cure.
I started out with nothing & I've still got most of it left M60 VP160 QS8 EP350 M22 VP100 Algonquins

Have you considered getting a different girlfriend?
Just kidding of course. Having never heard a set of M60's all I can comment on are the tremendous abilities of the M80's & how I can't imagine a wall hanging speaker beng able to match the sonic signature of the tower speakers.Axiom produces. Still many people love and enjoy their M22's. So I guess it depends on what you're used to?

I have M22s and M80s. When I compared them side-by-side the differences I noticed were all with music. I did not sense much changes when trying with movies. If you go (as your post suggests) with an EP500 (same as me), I am pretty sure you will be very happy with M22s. I have my M22s mounted on a wall and they work their magic just fine!

Just to be clear... are you talking W22s or M22s?
The M22s have a rear port and shouldn't be hung on the wall unless you're using a bracket that will enable them to stand out from the wall some....

Peter reported that the full metal brackets helped the bass with his M22s.

How big is the room?
I know I sound like a broken record, but for under 2400 sq feet Axiom stated to me the 22 was more than enough, paired with a good sub.
