In reply to:
I currently use M22ti' s, a VP100, QS8s and an EP500 sub.
I guess I am suprised to see you use QS8s. I was sort of expecting QS4s.
As near as I can tell from the specs, the VP100 apears to be a smaller version of the VP150. You also mentioned in another post having two centers on top and bottom of the screen for, shall I say, a larger sweet spot. Since the VP150 uses more drivers and a different configuration of drivers, is the soundstage wider with the VP150? That is, perhaps the question should be is it more appropriate to use a VP150 in a wider room?
My main objective is to have the best quality sound in as small a package as would reasonably allow (hence why I sold my M3-si speakers).
In achieving this, there is usally a minimum size of speaker that would fit this requirement and I am getting the impression that, for Axiom's offerings, the M22ti coupled with a decent subwoofer should fit the bill in my future room. It would seem that the M80 simply has more drivers for higher output, however they do also separate midrange with dedicated drivers. Any reason why the M22ti does not have a single midrange and a single woofer? Was it intended that the 5.25" drivers be best suited to mid and mid low and that the M22ti's are supposed to be coupled with a sub?
I was originally going to purchase the Monitor Audio Gold bookshelf speakers until I ran across a great deal on their top model (again prior to my awareness of Axiom). Interestingly enough I didn't quite like the Monitor Audio Silver or Bronze series.
Any particular reason for choosing the QS8s over the QS4s for the surrounds? Do they sound better (or perhaps rather, fuller) to you?
