m22 vs. atom


I am curious to know how the axiom m22 bookshelf speaker compares to the paradigm atom v5... anyone had a chance to hear both?

The main difference looks like another 5 1/2" driver on the axiom... what difference would this make? Would it just be able to play louder? And, in the same vein, would it thus need more power than the atom to sound equally as full?

Djembeplay,

Heard both Axiom and Paradigm, and IMHO I would take a Paradigm over Axiom every time. Axioms aren't bad, but I feel they are definely designed more for the HT crowd. I think that you'll be happy with the Atoms, especially if "down the road" you add a subwoofer.
