Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo How come no one talks about the M50s or M40s?

M50s seem like a decent deal - only a little more than the M22s but with more bass. Am I wrong? Do the M22s sound better than these products?

I am considering sending back the M22s and getting the M50s so that they can stand on the floor.

i have never heard either of these speakers, but i can give an educated opinion.

it is widely accepted that the M22's are remarkable sounding speakers for their size, and their sound output is amazing. with that being said, almost all feel that you would need a sub to accompany them to get the deep bass. there is no question that the M50 would have a better bass response but if you already have a sub paired with the M22's, it might not be necessary to get the M50's.

if you are just getting a personal case of 'upgradeitis', then we would understand, we all get it from time to time.. but if you have a good sub with your M22's, i dont know if the difference moving to the M50's would as dramatic as you might expect. the M22's are some killer speakers, and i dont know anyone that has them that wouldnt back me up on that.

thats my .02 cents, as billy likes to say..

Probably upgrade-itis. Once you hear these speakers you begin to think spending more money would be worth it.

Btw, is that the Texas flag? I lived in Houston for about four years. I miss the warm weather, the chips & salsa, and the barbecue. I miss it dearly.

If you do a search on "M50" I think you'll find a couple of discussions about them. Tonaly, they'll sound a bit different than you M22's. If you want to keep the same "sound" as the M22's but have more bass, and lose the stands, you'd need to jump to the M60ti's.

That's not to say the M50's sound bad, they just sound a bit different than the M22's and M60's.

Spiff, when you say "if you want to keep the same sound as the M22s", you are really selling me on the 60s. Now all that's left is to talk my girlfriend into spending more money on the 60s. She was looking at that new Todd Oldham furniture line at Lazy Boy so its gonna be a hard sell, but it can be done! : )

riffman- the TEXAS flag, yes it is.. i live in west texas.. about 7-8 hours west of houston. i would have to say that i am not the biggest fan of houston. its too big, too humid, and the people are too rude.. at least compared to where i am from.

the chips and salsa are still very good. the barbeque is still mouth watering.. and i am sure houston is still hot and humid..

come on back real soon.. that is if you have any money left over from buying the M60's.. hehe..

spiff- has mr bear STILL not finished that porno mag.. i guess he is reading the articles, right??

Here is a thread I started comparing the M50 with the M22 M50s & M22s compared & reviewed (long)

Yeah...he's a slow reader.

Hopefully, in a few months, Peter and I will be able to compare the M50s vs M22s. Not that I would be likely to return the M50s...

Just gotta finish the entertainment center, then it's Axiom time, baby!

Should I bring my sub over, too? Hehe...
