Yezzuh, that's a drop dead gorgeous M3V2.x in the background driven by a 8 wpc Muse T-Amp. This little T-Amp makes the Axiom M3V2.x sing. It is not sufficiently powerful to get the M22s do more than whimper, flat, thin and lifeless. The vintage flagship, dual mono Harman Kardon PM 665 is a great match for the M22V2s. They now sound pure, sweet and huge (of course helped by a Velodyine subwoofer.)

I'll be going to Axiom's 30th in one week, itching big time to test all their gear. I'll be quite interested in demo'ng the M22's with various amps. My current plan to drive my M3ti's is with my vintage Pioneer SX-850. Just need to dedicate some time for set up etc. http://hifigoteborg.se/Photo%20arkiv%20receivers1/Pioneer_SX850_1024_detail.htm

Hello R DeVries The Pioneer SX 850 is beautiful, but I think you may find it is unsatisfying as an audio component. Here is a picture of mine. I demoted it from garage service to closet place holder. [img:center] [/img]

He's buying a new home and wants an Axiom home theater room and an Axiom 2 channel room.
I feel like I've done him a favor.
And he can do one for you if he drops your name with his order...Axiom bucks for Audition, 5% of what he spends and keeps after 30 days.

The Pioneer looks in great shape. Good for another 30 years. Mine is in my sons room pushing a pair of Sansui SP-5500X (not part of HT yet). These Pioneers were really nice to look at, well built and rather stunning.

I've always enjoyed the look of some of those monster receivers from the 70s heyday... but I have an emotional connection to that period of my life.
I wonder if those damned young punks like the looks of those receivers, or do they just see them as "old"?

Yeah, they just look old to me. But I don't even like the look of beige computers.
Though I do have a connection to the mid-to-late '70s. That's when I was being born.

Ooops.
I used to smoke pipes (Dunill 965) and cigars. I gave them up.
