#387298 - 12/26/12 10:06 AM M3 or M22 for a 12' x 9' space?
LoKi128 newbie Registered: 12/26/12 Posts: 2	I live in a small apartment with a combined living room and dinning area. The HT takes up around 12' L x 9' wide. I already have a VP-100 that I got from a friend, which is what made me see how bad my current speakers are (old Onkyo HTIB). I'm thinking of getting either the M3 or the M22 speakers for the main Left and Right positions. They will be driven (for now) by a Denon AVR-590. What would you recommend?

How loud do you like to listen? _________________________ ::::::: No disrespect to Axiom, but my favorite woofer is my yellow lab :::::::

LoKi128 newbie Registered: 12/26/12 Posts: 2	Thanks to all for your responses. The system will be used for 90% movies. I do have a Klipsch sub. Can't crank it up too much because of the neighbors, but every once in a while I go pretty loud on it. Thanks again!

INANE connoisseur Registered: 02/04/04 Posts: 1698 Loc: Omaha, Nebraska	I have a pair of M3's and love them but the M22+sub is better all around setup. If you have a need for a pure stereo setup then I'd recommend the M3's as they really do shine on their own. _________________________ -Ben HT v2.0 HT v1.0
