I've been listening to my new M22ti speakers for 3 weeks now. I have them hooked up to a Yamaha RX-596 stereo receiver (80 watts, 120 watt dynamic headroom). For the first week, I listened to a variety of different music, ranging from your suggestion of Bavarian Highlands (great album by the way) to home-made frequency-modulated sine waves. I was fairly impressed with the clarity of the sound. Voices sound like human beings, not robots; hi-hats are nice and crisp (I am a percussionist); and orchestras fill the room nicely (I have a relatively large appartment). The only lacking department, these being bookshelfs, was in electronica music, where the bass was simply insufficient to make the floors vibrate. This being said though, my roommate's system (worth a few thousand more than my own) performed more poorly than mine in all of my tests. This was impressive since his speakers have 6 1/2 drivers, whereas the M22ti have only 5 1/4 drivers. This first week of testing made a good first impression. For the following two weeks of testing, I added a Polk PSW404 subwoofer to my system (sorry, I bought it before I learned about AxiomAudio). This addition did not really change the sound quality of classical music in general, although it might have added some depth and definition. The difference can be felt mostly for rock, jazz, and electronica, where the kick-drum and the bass make a significant contribution to the musical experience. The M22ti intergrate really well with the sub (I have to turn the sub off to convince myself that it's actually working). All-in-all an interesting musical experience no matter my immediate auditory needs. Finally, I should say that I discovered AxiomAudio by pure luck. I was last-minute surfing for reviews on another brand of speakers (my mind was set on buying these, although I had last-minute regrets because I had not been impressed when listening to them in a local store). Shopping for speakers is a disaster. The vast majority of reviews are not helpfull at all and can be misleading. Anyway, I somehow ended up on the AxiomAudio website and clicked on Bookshelf speakers. I was initially impressed by the look of the speakers: they did not look like toys made for gullible amateurs. Then, there was the fact that I could listen to them at home for one month. The website was also professional, with a newsletter that was truely informative. I told myself that I had nothing to lose...and I didn't. I will not be returning these speakers. Thank you, Sincerely,

I recently purchased these speakers and hooked them up to my tiny new 1bit sharp theater system. high tech but only about twenty something whats per channel. took the speakers over to my friends place who has nice quality sound all throughout his house. amplifiers, powered speakers, nice receivers, cable, etc. anyway in one of his rooms, he had some powered roland monitors that in the past i thought were so nice and he paid $600.00 each for the roland bookshelf type speakers. i brought my axom top end bookshelf speakers and he hooked them up where his rolands had been and these speakers sounded soooo much cleaner and sweeter than the rolands i had just recently truely enjoyed. when i told him the cost of only $220 u.s. per speaker with no tax and free shipping----he actually made the comment that i was showing off!!! after hearing these speakers connected to more powerful, nice equipment, i was even more impressed with the quality of the sound. very nice!

I purchased the M22i's and the dipole Q-8. The speakers were from the B-Stock store and I can't seem to find anything wrong with them. They look like new to me. I hooked up the speakers last night and they are beautiful sounding speakers and the build quality is outstanding. I am coming from Paradigm monitor series speakers and the build quality is so high above there I can't believe it. Thank you for a great product and fast shipping to Oregon!

I received my order today, and couldn't wait to get the speakers set up. I have to tell you that I spent several hours sitting and enjoying the amazing sound! Your speakers are everything I expected, and a lot more. I still can't believe what a bargain this system is, and what an improvement it is over my previous speaker system. I just wanted to say thank you. I know where I'm going to direct anyone who's looking for new speakers, and I expect I'll be back again when I'm ready to upgrade again.

My wife and I are cutting our 4th CD of old time mountain music and I wanted to share that after about a year, I continue to appreciate how wonderful my M22's sound with this music. Of course the fact that low bass isn't an issue contributes, but I am used to being in the same room with world-class acoustic instruments and musicians and when I hear the same people and instruments through my Axioms, I can't tell the difference! We continue to use our Axioms to master our CDs.
