Hello all, I have been a proud and happy Axiom owner for 6 months now and I just have 1 question with regards to my system. Please see below for the specs of my home theater setup:
Front: 2 x M22ti
Center: 1 x VP100
Side surrounds: 2 x QS8
Rear surrounds: 2 x QS8
Subwoofer: Hsu Research STF 2
Room dimensions: 19' L x 14' W x 9' H
Receiver/Amplifier: Denon 2805
Sorry for listing out everything... My questions is, I would like to replace the front M22ti speakers with Axiom floor standing speakers. There is absolutely nothing wrong with my M22tis, they have done their duty and beyond, but I would like to use them in another room from now on. Looking at my current setup, what would you recommend? I guess voice/sound matching with the rest of my speakers would be top priority, although I haven't heard other Axioms deviated too much from each other in terms of sound. I am currently looking at either the M50ti or the M60ti. The M40ti is a bit small and the M80ti will be too much for my room. Please let me know what you guys think. Thank you all in advance.
Pete

All Axiom speakers match up to each other well, so you needn't worry too much about that. If you really dig the sound of the M22s -- and it sounds like you do -- M60s are the logical choice.

Pete, as Peter commented, you don't have to be much concerned with matching. This is especially the case if you stay in the M2/M22/M60/M80 series. All of these are very similar in sound above the low bass, with the larger speakers having a progressively greater capacity to play loudly in large rooms with low distortion. The M60s should suit you well.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Gotta agree with the general consensus here. M60s have the sound and size for your application.
