I bought the M22's and I love them. I know what you mean though- the constant praise from the M60 Posse certainly raises the FUD level. I swear I'm going to have to start taking Seconal to help me get to sleep at night because of this. As far as the QS8's: They are truly amazing. I get flat out paranoid watching movies with these. Sounds coming at you from everywhere.
