I am planning on purchasing a set of M3's to add to my M60's with a NAD 372. What should I expect from this combination? Any comments?

Thanks again everybody. I think it will be the M22s and either an HSU or SVS sub. I would prefer the SVS and the wife didn't freak out over the $$, but I might choose to save some money and go with the HSU. I don't think I'll be disappointed either way.

In regards to your SVS vs Hsu decision, you will not go wrong either way, but remember there are differences in how the two sound....subtle, but noticeable.
A tough thing to do, but If you can...compare them.

I'm an M22 owner who can rave about the speaker. Even though my system is not ideal (HK AVR 130 Receiver and Dayton 10" sub). I couldn't be happier with the M-22's. Soundstage is incredible paired with an M2 as a vertical center and QS4's. If you can swing the extra bucks for the M22's, do it, you'll be happy you did.
On a personal note, the reason for skimping on the reciever and sub for my system was that we were expecting twin boys. They have arrived-Jens Milton 5 lb. and Lake John 5 lb 3 oz. They should be home in a week or so for their first experience of sitting in Dad's lap in front of the Axioms.
M22's, VP150, QS4's, HK 630, HSU VTF3-MKII

Hey Jerry,
I was in the same boat about 6 months ago and went with the 22's and have never looked back. However, I went with an STF-2 sub instead of the surrounds and center for now. The 22's specialize in mids and highs, but have very little bass, so they really, really need a good sub to fully enjoy them, especially with home theatre. I guess to me it's a more visceral experience to have explosions rattling the seat of my belly than it is to hear bullets zinging over my head. Of course, I plan to get the surrounds and center in a few months, but to start off with I just thought it was more important to have good bass. Just something to think about for now.

jt, maybe your wife can fling some pots or pans at you while watching to simulate those bullets.

Ha! Well, I'm actually getting married on June 19, so we'll see what happens then. Hopefully she'll just stick with the Rubbermaid.

Mike, congratulations on the twins. Way more important than speakers. Well, maybe marginally more important. Be sure to break the boys in for a couple of weeks before you calibrate them.
