Hi mike. I have and love my M22 and M2 speakers but if you really want more mid bass then rather than doubling up on the M22s as mains I would go with M80s which have one hell of a mid bass punch. In fact their tight bass and mid bass punch was one of the two things that made me choose them over Focal, Paradigm and B&W speakers I was also looking at.
In my apartment I tried out dual over and under M22s with my M80 mains and it sounded great. There was a drop in the mid bass coming from the center in this configuration compared to running an M80 center. I think that’s because most sound engineers know that people just don’t usually have full range speakers as centers so they master their recordings accordingly. I actually found the missing center mid bass was more noticeable with movies than music. I posted some of my impressions in this thread:

Another thing to consider is a mid bass module:
