Exactly, Pablo. Same shit he pulled on me with the EP800v4 Nad Mass Edition! I haven't gotten any sleep since I got the damned thing 'cause I'm listening to music into the wee hours of the night. LOL!

If it were only up to me, I'd tell him to start making them! Unfortunately, the wife already thinks the current setup, though way better than what it replaced, is plenty loud (and I'm often told to turn it down). I know I want to upgrade the sub, I'm already at 75-80% volume at the back for HT and I want more oompf but I'm afraid to fry it again. The EP175 is the best sub I've ever had but I'm wondering if a sealed EP500 would be crisper.
I really need to make a trip to Axiom this year when I'm up at the cottage (only 13km away!) to listen to a side by side comparison of the M22 vs M80 and a demo of the EP500 vs EP175 so I hear the differences.

M22 vs. M80...LOL! EP175 vs. EP500...double LOL!
Tell the missus that the new speakers will have to be turned up half as loud to sound twice as good. Ahahahahaha!

Put on Louie Louie by the Kingsmen. I was googling around to find what other people use. They sound like they are at the end of a narrow corridor on my theater setup (not in a good way!) I wouldnt fret Mojo. Its not your speakers/sub. Its a setup issue. The setups I tune all have depth when Im done. Its a secret! Louie Louie sounds like it's coming from a 2 foot diameter pipe in the middle of my 22 foot width. That we agree on. I look forward to you blessing my setup with depth. And bring a snowblower too. It's like Algonquin Park here today.

I need quadratic diffusers.

Unless you have a huge room, if you get an EP500 or two (preferable), you will not need M80s. Your M22s will be an outstanding combo with those subs.
Aesthetically, the slender M22s will probably will look better than trying to fit M80s into your tight space. Wifey might be more agreeable as well...

With M22s, the mids will be thinner than M80s; they won't be as full and rich. Also if you like to turn it LOUD, they might not have enough 'nad mass. You'll also want to evaluate how far apart they can be placed before the imaging and soundstage collapses for your set-up.

Guys (and one Sonicfox)...I have some info that makes me suspect we all need LFRs.

It seems that you have M22OWs mounted already in a restricted space & you are using an EP175 for the low end.
A couple of EP500s are exponentially more capable than what you have now & will easily take care of all of the midrange & low bass that you desire. You would be hard pressed to find any sonic deficiencies in this setup.
It seems that most towers in HTs are used with one or more subs & are often crossed over at 80 Hz or so. This largely strangles most of their low end capability - so what is the point? My M22V4s blend with & compliment my EP800s perfectly & can effortlessly play far louder than is safe or that I can stand.
If subs aren't used then towers make perfect sense...
