I dont think Alan is saying he doesnt like the M50's or is not a fan of the M22's. In fact, he suggested the M22's for my space coupled with a sub, if I didnt want to go the route of floorstanding M60's and I am loving them.
Having A/B the 3's, 22's, 60's, 80's at Mojo's place I would say the detail and clarity of the M22's is noticeably better than the M3's. The bass is better with the M3's alone, but I really didnt think they came close to the detail of the M22's.
That being said, I want a pair of bookshelves for casual 2ch listening in the family room and dont want to put a sub in the room, so am going with M3's.
