Just a side note to my previous comments, I was also coming from owning a set of M22Ti's and the M60s were not as clear at my usual listening levels as the M22's were, my wife picked up on it right away, and if she could tell, i knew I was in for more work. This is what lead me to audition a set of M80s and the full out comparison is here..... http://axiomaudio.com/boards/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=207481&fpart=1

Really? That is kind of shocking to me. BTW what is the "Ti"? I see the M22 on wall which is what i have now and am thinking of trading in for the M60. I cant find any M22Ti on the site. I will read your comparison and chime back in later. Thanks

Ti was the original designation before v2 came out.

Wow I thought there was a much bigger size difference between the M60's and M80's than what it show's in that picture! According to that pic there is only an inch or two between them... interesting. I love the white, never seen a picture of white Axiom's before. Sweet!

Micah here is a pic I took using one M60 as a center flanked by the M80s and yes it is surprising how close the M60's are in size to the M80s, really not much difference.

I guess I am struggling with keeping my on walls or switching to M60 and VP150. If I keep on wall I will have a smaller screen. If I switch to the M60 and VP150 I will place them behind a larger acoustical screen. My ideal situation would be the larger screen as long as I feel confident I would be happy with the sound coming through the screen and visual on the acoustical screen. I will run the Panasonic AE4000U projector which folks are boasting as a fantastic new product. Finding a screen should be a reasonable enough task. Just totally worried that I will be losing a bunch of sound quality from behind the screen. I know i can return what i purchase and exchange if im not happy but the entire design of the room will depend on this decision. Besided i hate going through purchasing, unpacking, repacking and shipping items this size and this value. Somebody lead me to the light!

I don't know about the visual of the screen - but I can't imagine you being disappointed with the M60s. If you are placing them behind the screen, you should have no hesitation with the Factory Outlet.

Any way you could get your hands on some sample sizes of the screen? This way you could drap them over your W22s and see how much it affects the SQ. If it doesn't affect it much, I don't think it will, you can feel more confident in moving forward with the M60 purchase.
BTW, I beleive the M22 actually sits about 6-8db down at 60hz, which would also explain some of the lack in mid bass, and I suspect the W series is even farther down than that due to the lesser volume of the housing. Try bumping up the crossover to 80 on the receiver and see what that does for you.

According to Axiom the W22 is still within 3 db at 60 hz (researching for my own knowledge today) but I doubt they're as good as M22's, as you say.
aspicer, I faced the identical decision a few months back. I went with the slightly smaller screen and wall mounted setup, mostly for aesthetics, and it was cheaper too. I don't have a giant room to fill either, how big is your room?
