I just got the Misa Criolla and first impression is...well different than my usual suspects. Don't get me wrong I actually enjoyed listening to it. I just need to sit down, after my system is set up in my new house. I put the M22s on the counter, along with a pair of Mirage M90s (?), and a pair of BA HD5s. I used my Luxman amp and cheap Yammie cd player. The 22s are more forward and bright than the Mirage, but lack the bass. I will test again when I can sit on my duff in a comfy chair and really let the speakers sing. Hopefully by then the setup will be better for sound.
