I was wondering if anyone has done a side by side comparison between the no longer available M40 and the current M22. I don't have the opportunity to A - B them in the same room with the same electronics hooked up prior to purchase. The M22 has the advantage of the additional driver, but the M40 has the advantage of a larger speaker cabnit.
Surround sound mostly movies and TV with little music. M40 or M22 would be the fronts of a 7.1 system with vp150, 2 qs8's, 2 qs4's, and a non-axiom subwoofer. My room size can be supported with a good bookshelf or a small tower.

Any opinions as to which would create a fuller sound and which creates a larger soundfield, or just any personal bias against one or the other if you have some reasoning behind the bias.

Thanks.
