Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners The usual suspects...

It's all good, whatever speakers you choose to go with M22s, 60s or 80s. ( ) {secret code to M80 owners for meeting about possible M60 uprising}

I know that I wasn't quoted in this response, but as one of the original members on AVS (back before the whole site loss and re-sign up for everyone) it was one of my favorite places. I just stay away from the areas where the nitwits post (just a few bad apples in some of the forum areas really spoils it). If you are still able to wade through the little bit of crap and find the good stuff over there, it IS a good resource. I just have better things to do with my life, so I just steer clear of those areas that like to bash products without any knowledge of them just because they aren't what is the current "flavor of the month" or what a particular member thinks is the best.

I think that is the general feeling of a lot of people, even people from the other forums you mention seem to share this feeling about AVS. It was bound to happen since they are the biggest A/V forum out there, and while it wasn't always that way, it has grown big enough that the "riff-raff" was bound to get in.

Cactrot, I'd say go ahead and order the speakers you listed in the post that started this thread:

"I'll likely be ordering the M22's, VP100, and QS8's for a 1400 cu ft room. I'll be running an svs pb10 sub and denon 989 receiver."

I'm running the M22's, VP100, and QS8's in a much larger room with an SVS PCI 25-31 sub and Pioneer VSX-45 receiver. I've never heard the M22's sound distorted, but I have heard my wife yell to turn it down!

I really like the M22's and the QS8's, but I'm not sold on the VP150. I'd prefer an M22 center but no way to position it. If you have room below the screen I suggest using an M22 center.

I think you would see more people reccomending them, Its just that alot of us just dont see the need to be known as the forum axiom fanboy. Ive stopped saying "check out axiom so and so" on forums for quite a while now because i get tired of reading other people doing the same thing for everything else under the sun just because they own it. There are certainly better speakers out there, and most definetly worse ones. From what I have seen what gets constantly reccomended on forums is sort of a flavor of the month and also varies from forum to forum.

Yeah, Peter; it's surprising how many failed to grasp the clear hint Ian and Amie gave when they chose to appear with the award-winning true Axiom flagships for their only known public photo in Vegas .
