I agree that a narrow dip in impedance is not as problematic as a wide dip. I raise the issue because my 35W tube amp seemed to have a little trouble driving the M22ti. Something didn't sound right in the high frequencies, while my solid state high current amp sounded fine. The M3ti sounded fine on both amps. I don't have a receiver to try.

On second thought, I agree with chesseroo. I don't think the narrow dip in impedance at 4KHz should bother even cheap receivers because there's not much energy at that frequency. If the dip was at a lower frequency it might be an issue, but probably not. What I was hearing with my tube amp was probably due to something else. Sorry for the false alarm.
I do suggest, though, that anyone interested in the M3ti and M22ti, to try both, if possible. As I've said before, I really wanted to like the M22ti because it's supposed to be a better speaker, but I prefer the sound of the M3ti. Could be my room, my electronics, my ears. Who knows.

It seems the tube aficianados generally like the M3 better than the M22; perhaps it just (gasp!) matches the tube sound better.
Me, I haven't a clue which Axiom line I like better. I own the M50s and love them, but I also think the M22s are incredible. Obviously more comparison is in order!

In reply to:

Better is a highly subjective word.
Perhaps from now on you should promote the M3 as the better speaker and see how many M22 owners react.

Edit of my previous post
Sorry -"... in the first hours of transition I thought the M22s were smoother..."
