Do you plan to use a sub?

Without one, the M3 will give you more bass over the M22. Both speakers offer a slightly different sound. I don't own either one, so maybe someone else can chime in.

I do have the M40 and it does offer a lot more bass than my bookshelves. When I say more bass, I mean the kind that you can feel. Makes me want to crank up the music. You state that you're not looking to blow the roof off, so maybe the smaller speakers will be a better fit.
