tearglove,
i listen to tons of Aphex Twin and Autechre. I have the M22's and the M3's, and I do prefer the M22's to the M3's, with the EP125. The M3 is slightly laid back in the midrange. If you place the M22's about 2 feet from the wall, 8 feet apart, and a slight toe in, you'll have a sound that is just terrific. I have Confield, Incunabula, Chiastic Slide, Tri Repetae ++, Amber, Druqks, Selected Ambient Works 1 and 2, and i REALLY think they sound amazing. They sound great on both the M3 and the M22, i just find the M22 to bring out more detail.
The paradigm atom is not nearly as good as the M2. I heard the M2Ti and I thought it was clearly the winner over the Atom, so the M2i can only be better.
