Nice re-review. You have stated what we try hard to say when others ask how the M22's compare to upper end speakers. They compare favorably and are, IMHO, the best buy for those of us on a real budget. No one here has ever said the M22's are the best sounding speaker out there, Thiels are better sounding to me as well, but I can not justify the price difference for that extra little bit of smoothness and soundstage.
Again well done. I hope you plan on sticking around now that you are done with the 22's.
