I always wondered why I bought towers and crossed them over at 80hz when I could have saved a bunch of money and just gotten a pair of bookshelves on stands.


Not really.
I've tried the M22 and sub combo and own the M60 and EP350.
The M22s just were not enough, small thin sound which although was great quality, it did little to impress me. The M60s really filled the room, much greater sound, more presence, far more prominent midrange. It truly is the big brother to the M22.

Simply put, the comparison is large sound vs. small sound.
The sub is not a great substitute IMO for a full size tower's capabilities.
