Your post certainly got my attention since I have a pair of M22's on order.

Under Outlaw tips they claim you should be able to use the full range of your volume. I have five cheap Acoustic Research 215's ($100.00 a pair) that are rated at 89 dB's. With music (stereo) it starts to go bad at about 70 but it could be the limitations of my speakers. With movies (surround, less watts available) I've had it cranked all the way up and still sound decent. This could be the exception rather than the norm since I haven't watched many movies yet (I've only had my 1050 a few weeks).

Hopefuly someone else with this combo will read your post and shed some more light on the subject.

I will certainly be looking forward to your post in regards to what Axiom has to say about it.
