Very good, Randy; to suggest some likely material to demonstrate their excellence, I'll go with...oh...say Holst's The Planets and Rachmaninoff's symphonies and tone poems(big surprise, eh).

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Unless you have a secret handshake, it doesn't qualify as a "club".

Oops, cut and pasted the wrong line. What the second line was supposed to say is:
Randy, what prompted you to order M22s? Sorry if I missed you posting about it in another thread.

Well, it was a bit of luck I guess. I've been tossing around the idea of getting something going upstairs in the living room to accomodate my Panny Plasma. Ruled out inwalls and onwalls, based on WAF.
About that time I got a magical email from Axiom, I think based on my post count and contribution. Hopefully, Peter and Ken received the same when they passed 10,000.

We went with the new Standard Black Oak finish Axiom now offers. Figured it would match the black Plasma the best.

note about new finish...Axiom is now offering a new stock Black Oak vinyl finish. If you need your speakers in our old Black Oak finish, you may purchase them for no extra charge in our

I think we will put them on stands. We are in the market for a new shelf/stand for the plasma and audio equipment. Our current entertainment center is huge and nice solid wood that used to hold my old Toshiba 32" CRT. If the stand is wide enough I could put the speakers to the side of the TV...

yep, I'm going to move my Denon 2805 up here since it is not being used anymore. I need to figure out how to run the wiring up through the walls, across the attic, and down the other walls. I was thinking to just put speaker wall plates on both walls, that way if the wifey decides to move the plasma to the other wall some day, I can just move the rears, and hook the receiver up to the other side... Since the weather is cooler, sucks, maybe I will get up in the attic this weekend, and try not to pull a Chevy Chase in Xmas Vacation.

Sirquack when did they switch to the new Black Oak finish, because I just got my M22's with the old finish about a month and a half ago and my surrounds just came 2 days ago with the new finish. I didn't notice this on the website when I ordered them on 10/06/09. Was this change made in the time frame from when I ordered them to when I received them or was it my mistake for not noticing it?

Jumbo, I really don't know, I'm sure Axiom could tell you.. When I was looking at the Products page for each speaker, there is a New link above the black sample square.

The new finish was announced in the July 2009 newsletter, which was e-mailed on July 30th. Someone noticed the new black finish on the site about a week before.

Since when did the Natty Lite Brewing Company start making wine? I bet that would be a big hit with the wine connoisseurs here on the boards.

Rick,
I've been making home brew wine and beer for a few months now. All my beer ingredients come from Coopers Brewery, famouse for Sparkling Ale, been around since the 1800's +. I get all my wine juice from the vinyards at Winexpert. A Canadian/USA company, one of the largest.

All I can say is WOW, these m22's are astonishing, fabulous, freaking awesome. I have them sitting on top of my EP350's, just inside the M80's. With the subs incorporated in the mix, they sound soooooooooooooo good, it is almost hard to distinguish them from the M80's. I wish I had a good A/B switch for blind testing. Now I know why the M22 club members speak so highly of them. But wait, they are an Axiom product, no wonder.

Now we just have to teach you that secret handshake, anyone remember how it goes? It's just like the M80 handshake, you just offer less resistance.

Except in recognition of the frequency range where the M22s have a 3 ohm impedance while the M80s are 8 ohm.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

OK. I've been wrong all this time?
The lower the Ohm rating (say..."4") the LESS resistance as opposed to a higher rating... (say..."8")?????

The lower the Ohms rating on the speaker, the more power it draws from your amp therefore, the "4" ohm is actually more efficient than the "8" ohm, isn't it?.....maybe the confusion is in regards to the efficiency of the amp vs the efficiency of the speakers?

I can't remember all of the details regarding resistance, ohms and so forth but I do know if some guy were to shake my hand in the manner depicted in Randy's post up there I believe an efficient and swift kick to the nads would be in order.

Less resistance means less energy lost to heat, which means more efficiency electrically. The standard measure of efficiency in audio terms is the 1W at 1 meter dB level. In other words, a microphone is set up 1 meter away from the front of a speaker -- usually a point somewhere between the tweeter and midrange or woofer. Then the speaker reproduces a signal with exactly one watt of power. The resulting sound is measured. More efficient speakers will be louder.

I can't believe how hard it is to find a nice wood console/stand that has an opening for a center speaker. arggg

It would probably be cheaper to fly Mike down/back and build it on site, rather than ship it.

I can't believe how hard it is to find a nice wood console/stand that has an opening for a center speaker. arggg Take a look at Salamander. Maybe a wee bit pricey but not horribly expensive. They are VERY well built. (you actually assemble them but they go together very nicely) They are quite solid and look great but best of all they are adaptable for a zillion different configurations. You should be able to get a good fit for both your plasma and your center speaker. I had to get mine through a dealer. You might have to do the same. Try A plus Home Solutions in Des Moines. Or look on Agon... sometimes I see them listed there. You can go online and see what they have. They also have a 'configurator' where you can build what you want and then get a price estimate. http://www.salamanderdesigns.com/products/av.jspStephen

Thanks Stephen.... ! Looks like Urbandale (suburb of Des Moines) also carries that line, may have to check them out... Great first post... Best, Randy

I have two... both from the Synergy Series. One is an upright "Single 40" and the other is a "Triple 20". The shelf sizes are adjustable but the basic 'unit-size per shelf', if you will, would hold an amp about the size of an Odyssey Stratos. They also offer some nice touches like metal screens for ventilation, solid industrial casters, and removable backs that are designed to accommodate cables and chords.
These really are quality pieces... for MDF-based furniture, that is. For the price, I doubt you could find any better.... different but not better.
