Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Good 2-way rear speaker choice (smaller than m2ti)

I currently have m3ti fronts with a vp100 center, and I'm looking to get rears that I can later give to my dad for a system he can use in his office and eventually get some qs8s and bigger mains, but that's way down the road. I would really love to find some Mzeros or M1s for rears in boston cherry, but I don't think I'll be able to find any.

My question is what would be a good rear speaker that is relativly small in size. Even the m2ti would be too big. Would Paradigm micro's or atom's match well with an axiom system? The atoms are a little smaller than the m2ti, but they have a lower power rating. Both speakers are under $200 which is attractive to me. Any thoughts?

My other option is to buy these used m22s from a friend and move the m3's to the rear, but I'm in a really small dorm room and space is limited.

JS, looks like there's no Paradigm enthusiasts around and in my view if you'd be willing to consider something the size of the Atoms, you should instead be willing to get the Axiom M2s($230 at factory outlet)which are barely any bigger. If it has to be mini-speakers, you could consider these Swedes.
