In another thread, I've asked some options on remodeling my HT room. This will also give me the option of swapping / testing some speakers in my 2 channel setup. These are speakers that I've had in the garage for some time and want to bring back out to compare (I selected these originally because they have a small footprint and I have very little room). Here's what I will likely have on hand:

- Meadowlark Swifts
- Odyssey Nightingales
- Magnepan MMGs
- Ohm MicroWalsh (not burned in)
- Axiom M22Ti's (my baseline)

I will be running the speakers through a sub (an SVS 16-46 coming from my HT room) that can reach very low. In these speakers I'm looking for full range sound with better than average bass extension. I know that would seem to negate the need for a sub, but that's just the point: I've always had a hard time blending a sub with the Axioms (they are supposed to go down to 40Hz). So my reasoning is that deeper bass extension will make this easier. Am I correct in this assumption?

My goal is to come up with one speaker pair that I will keep as my reference system.
