agreed. you need a sub with the m22s, but buying a sub is neccesary if you really want the HT expierence. eventually, you will get upgraditis and want to upgrade your equipment. a good sub will go with you whereever you go, no matter what 5,000 dollar speakers you get in the future.

as to the double box issue, i also thought the m22s would come double boxed. my m60s came double boxed(in separate boxes too), but not the m22s. but they were packaged well-plent of sufficient styrofoam
