Thoughts on speaker choice's

[brushro]

Hello to all-I am the owner of a pair of Axiom Audio M80 speakers which I am considering replacing w/ one of two (so far) possible speaker lines....
The two choices are Axiom Audio's M22's w/ the VP150 center channel OR a pair of Usher Audio V-601'S & their V-603 center channel (the Ushers are on sale to match at a price point w/ the Axioms).
The reason for this is I just need speakers w/ a smaller foot print in my living room.
I've really liked my Axiom M80's so I'm writing to ask if any one has real world experience w/ the Ushers & any thoughts or considerations I should be paying attention to...both choices seem to have similar specs,the Axioms maybe a bit better on efficiency...anything else I need to heed?
I'll be driving either speaker choice them w/ a Sherborne amp thru an Emotiva pre-pro from a Marantz universal player & all Blue Jeans cables from start to finish.
Thank you!
P.S.-I have only found these two manufacturers that have high quality bookshelf/monitor size speakers in a wood veneer look @ this price point for the trio...I can't stand piano black finishes!
Thanks again!

Can't you listen to the Ushers?

short answer is yes

The nearest dealer is over an hour away...I know Axiom has a 30 day money back guarantee but any help w/ understanding what the Ushers might be like in comparison would be appreciated-
Thanx again!

Especially since you are already an axiom owner so you have an idea on their sound. Even though the M22's are smaller than your M80's they will exhibit the same type of sound. I say check out the Ushers first and see if you like their sound more.
