Sadly, the only person on that list with M3s is in Wisconsin, which is very far from either Los Angeles (my current locale) OR New York City (where I'll be moving before purchasing).

I only read a single review that actually compared the M3Ti's to the M2i's, and that guy (I think it was the Soundstage guy) seemed to prefer the M2is, at least as long as a subwoofer is involved. Of course, he paired them with a MUCH nicer subwoofer than the one I'm looking at (I believe it was a $5000 sub, actually), so it might have done a better job filling up the midrange than mine would do...

Really wish there was an easy way I could listen to them both. I'm sure they'd both sound much better than anything I've ever owned before, of course, but which will sound <i>better?</i> So hard to know.
