I couldn't be happier with my M22's. I keep upgrading my electronics, and they keep improving with every upgrade - simply amazing speakers for the money. I got mine from the Factory Outlet as well ($320 at the time), and haven't questioned my decision once since buying them. I plan on purchasing...

Thanks for pointing out that drop-down box. I think I read was the article in March, but I don't know if it was a new March article or just an old article that I happened to be reading in March...my memory isn't that clear that far back, unfortunately. I'm going to email Axiom and ask about...

Hmmm... There is a post older than the one you link to there, but I wasn't able to find it with the search function on their boards...perhaps the search only goes back so far. The one you found there doesn't go into much detail, unfortunately. If you're interested, you should probably go ahead...

Peter, I'd take a look at the axiom forums - a LOT has been written on this topic. The designer recently wrote a post on the VP150's layout, and it should answer some of your questions. There are also a number of people who have used M3's as centers w/o complaints. I'm still deciding on this...

It sounds like you need to decide exactly what your budget is and what you want to buy with it. The Axioms and JBL's are in completely different classes in terms of both price and performance. I've heard both speakers, and there is just no comparison - and considering that the Axioms are over...

I made the same decision myself a few months ago. Based on what I found, the Rava seems to be stronger for music, while the VTF-2 seems to be stronger for HT. I listen to more music than HT by far, so I opted for the Rava and haven't regretted my decision for a moment. For the price, it is a...

The new line seems to use metal woofers. I haven't heard anything with the Vifa ring tweeter, but it is possible that AV123 wanted a brighter-sounding line to appeal to those who don't like the sound of the Divas, which as I understand it, are more laid-back. I'd certainly like to hear what...

The receiver is definitely a significant factor. I was experiencing this problem on certain recordings with my M22's and an H/K AVR70 receiver. I recently replaced it with a H/K PT2500/PA5800 pre/amp combo, and all those hard s's are gone. Eric

The thing is that the sub never buzzes and the same sub and the same cable didn't cause any buzz when hooked up to my old receiver. I am just completely confused here. I will try to use a different interconnect to hook it up, though. Eric

All, Ok, I found the source of the buzz, but I'm now more confused than ever! When I unplugged the subwoofer interconnect cable from my preamp, the buzzing stopped. At first this made some sense to me, because the sub does have a grounded power cord, and since it is on the other side of the...

All, Thanks for the tips. I will certainly try disconnecting my cable when I get back home. However, could this be the problem even though there was no buzz with my old receiver? My preamp doesn't have a ground plug either, actually. I figured that since changing the volume on it doesn't...

Jason, Your sub is more of a HT sub than a music sub, so the fact that the M40's goes lower w/o a sub makes it better suited to your situation. And the toddler factor is certainly enough to seal it - the M22's on stands are not stable enough to stand up to a solid bump. I'd go with the M40's...

I'm not sure I agree with that. It probably depends on what type of music you listen to. No question that the M40 has deeper bass, but the M22 integrates quite well with a good sub. I use my M22's with an Adire Rava sub, and it reproduces tight, fast bass very well indeed. The M22 will also...

Hi, I recently replaced my H/K AVR70 with separates - an H/K PA5800 with a PT2500 preamp. It works fine, but there is an audible background buzz that comes through the speakers now. It comes through each speaker equally loud, and changing the volume level of the preamp does not change the...

Again, I haven't heard the M2Ti's, but I can safely say that Axioms sounds nothing like Klipsch. If you like the Klipsch sound, then the Axioms probably aren't for you and you'd be happier with the Klipsch.
