sigma, i am new, but have seen this on many posts..
i think they keep mentioning the M60's because they have pretty much considered the M80's way to big for your current room size. and i think some feel as if the M60's will still be too much, so they are suggesting bookshelves. i like the idea of getting smaller for the front to meet your current application, then later, upgrade to a 7.1 receiver and use them as rears and get new fronts to meet your needs at that time.
dont get discouraged by the side tracking, they eventually come back around..
EXCUSE ME, ARE YOU THE SINGING BUSH??

John, very perceptive. Thank God SOMEBODY is able to break the code here.
Consistent consensus ;
M80s = too much speaker for the room. Get M60s.

Yes John, I think everyone else thought that was clear. M80s too, too much. M60s probably too much. M40s, M22s, M3s, M2s all possibilities.

I agree that the M22 and a sub MAY be the better bet. When I went through the confusion of " which one to get??", I called Axiom and talked to them about my room and music/HT needs and was surprised that they advised me to get the M22's over the floorstanding M40-M80 series. Room size of 18x25x8. Took their advice, purchased the M22's, and have not looked back with what if's. For sure a sub with any of the speakers though. Mine sound awesome and was able to use the $ difference that I had left for other needs. ( more new cd's and dvd's , etc. )
Call Axiom and see what they say. In my experience, they for sure will not just try and sell you to the expensive speakers in their line. They REALLY want you to be happy with your choice.
Hope this helps .
