Seems like you've got it figured out Gardner. If you measure the active cone area the difference is quite a bit smaller I wondered about that, but I was too lazy to figure out actual cone size.  Even if the M22 had a lot more cone area, that wouldn't lead to more volume unless it had correspondingly higher power handling (I think). Looking at the M60 it dosn't have the ability to handle a huge amount of power either. I wonder how the ability to produce a wider range of sound at a given volume affects our perception of loudness? Probably not at all.

Hi all. Thanks for all the comments and info. I have my new M3s now -- in cherry custom finish -- and I think they look great.   They sound just fine and have plenty of oomph for the listening level I am looking for. I'm confident I'm sacrificing some base by having them so high up, but even so they sound better than my old Sanyos.

Those really came out nice. I doubt most people even notice them until you point them out. But I thought we agreed you would also put a big sub hanging from the roof? What happended to the flying sub I ask!
Now look, you have gone and upset my Avatar.

They look fantastic! I'd say the compromise on positioning is worth is as they virtually disappear. Congrats!

Beautiful. I am glad they meet your expectations. This thread was a bit of a learning experience for me on small speakers and big rooms.
