I've had a pair of the M3ti speakers for about three years. It was a nuisance to get a smooth transition with my Hsu sub because the Hsu extends quite high and the M3s go surprisingly low. Like any bookshelf speaker they aren't tremendously clean if you ask them to play way down there but they're a lot better than you'd think. I have heard the M22ti and though the specs at the low end are similar I do actually think the M3 gets a bit lower if you ask it to -- whether you should, of course, is a matter of taste.
I've just been looking at the new Axiom W-series speakers for a room we're renovating. They're the M series bookshelves and VP series centers reworked for a very unusual wall-embedded mount -- most of the enclosure lives in the wall, but a few inches stick out in the front. They've moved the port locations so they're in the edge of the bit that sticks out -- it's very clever. They claim these avoid almost all of the usual problems with in-wall speakers; we'll see. But if you're looking for Wife Acceptance Factor (I certainly am) it's a really clever new solution. Just be *very* sure where you want to put them, since they sure aren't going to be easy to move...! -- tls ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tls's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3411 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19023 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
