M22 and EP 500 is somewhat an unusual combination. ER500 is $1,200 and M22 is $400, $1600 together. It's $300 more expensive than a pair of M80s and almost twice as expensive as a couple of $M60s. So, why to pay more for something that sounds just the same?

A more realistic, 'bookshelf' and less expensive approach would be a couple of M22 paired with a good but not overly expensive sub, like Onix x-sub - $200. Altogether it's $600.

Now, the question is would that combination sound the same as a couple of M80 or M60? At not overly high SPL of course.
