Remember that for music you don't really need a sub if you have good full-range speakers. I rarely use the sub when listening to music on M60s (music/HT system) and never use a sub when listening to music on M40s (upstairs music system).

In other words, one could argue that you are comparing M50 vs. M3 plus stands plus sub, or M60 vs. M22 plus stands plus sub.

For a music-only system I would go with 50s or 60s and forget the sub. In a bright room M50s might be preferable. What kind of music do you listen to the most ?
