Sorry this was such a long time coming... still a lot of work left, but it's going to take the rest of the spring, so I thought I'd post what I have done so far. I'm still in analysis paralysis over the screen. (I've tried 3 different color paints so far)

I currently have those same 301's. How much of an improvement did you hear?

it's like an apples to oranges comparison. They're not even in the same league. (no offense meant to Bose owners). It's one of those situations where you can't believe the difference speakers make. I've always poored more money into my car speakers, but never knew what I was missing in home audio.
The first time I plugged the m60s and put on a CD (I believe it was just an old Bread CD I put on, mainly becasue it was right there and handy.) But, I heard things from the guitar I've never heard before. I was so amazed I went and grabbed the 301s and hooked them up too, and switched back and forth. All I can say, is that there is so much more range that come from the axioms that you want to go and smack the guy in the bose store in the face. I was in there just yesterday looking at their earphones, and looked at the 901s... $1400 US... I had to laugh!
The earphones... the noise dampening ones weren't that impressive either -- even took my mp3 player in to try them.
Today, I'm connecting the 301s up to see the differnce 7.1 one makes... just before I buy the Qs8, I want to make sure enough filler is coming out of them.

Did it take a little time to get used to the differences in sound? I want to get the M22's, but I more than likely be with out a sub for a period of time and am wondering if I will miss some of the bass or "fullness" of the Bose's when I transition.

I have the m60, so cannot comment on the m22. Maybe someone with m22 can chime in.

Probably. But the sound will be worth it. I'll point out that you should invest in a good sub (ie, a musical one). Otherwise, what's the point?

Very nice setup Bilbo. Lots of room for dragging the woman aroung the by the hair (I'm only kidding).
Is the blanket over the M60 for sonic or aesthetic reasons?

Sit down. Shut up. Listen.

been wet sanding the wall (and forogt to take off the blanket... ), to get it as smooth as possible before the next coat of paint (reaching point of obsession with screen, might need therapy)
