how does it sound compared to Axiom m22?

The dahlquist QX6 is a real good speaker, however it is closer to the M3ti, not the M22. I much prefer my M22's to the QX6.

I did audition the QX10's on Friday and I find them better than Axiom's lineup of speakers. You can get them for 1500$ CAD a pair from Marc at the audioshop:

If you are in Montreal, the Centre Hi Fi on st. catherine has them for 1299$ per pair.

I just double checked. You can actually get the QX10's for 1000$ CAD per pair from Marc at the audioshop.
