This seems to be at the heart of my decision. The M2i vs. the M3i. The speakers will be set rather high, which is not optimal (80"). Imaging and soundstaging comments in articles I read seem to conflict with each other. The M2i's receive high marks for clarity and detail.
They are so close in price, I am trying to direct myself to getting this right up front. I do not change system components very often, as exhibited by my amps.
I am also looking for articles the compare either speaker with more recent versions of speakers I have actually heard in stores. Much of what I have read is from 2000-2003.
Again, thank you for the advice. Trying to learn about subs is just as confusing. I want musical subs w/ accurate base, not distorted loud movie base. I would prefer a unit that is not to big! The AV123 looks attractive, but where is it sold?
