  no contest, the axiom's hands down. hard to find a speaker with this performance at even twice the price. i know a place which sells their cosmetic blems for $180.00 u.s a pair. that's a steal.

  cheers,

  Neither of these two seem ideal for wall-mounting, as they are both rear-ported designs. I auditioned the M3Ti about 4' out from the front wall and 5' from the side walls in a 20'x25' room. They sounded great in this location, so I suspect putting them too close to a wall may affect their performance. I believe that Mission makes a few bookshelf models that are designed for near-wall proximity. I haven't heard the Polks, but the M3Ti are great and considerably cheaper.

  Have you listened to both? Do you already have your modest, tube-driven system?

    Ben, I have not listen to either speakers but I have read, mostly rave, reviews... The modest gear used to be connected to a rather immodest floor standing Audio Physic speakers. But that was back in Michigan. I recently moved to a NYC appartment where space is very limited and bookshelf speakers actually have to be put on bookshelves or on the wall. Thanks. OzF

    Yes, you are right. The new Mission M7 series has optional plug to plug the rear port for close to wall positioning.

  I am currently using a pair of Polk RT25i in a small den system. They are shockingly good, with excellent midrange and bass response. They are wall-mountable but I have no idea how they would sound in such a situation. I considered the Axiom M3Ti but in the end I went with the Polks because my first impression of them was so good.
