as the founder of the M50ti crew i feel compelled to weigh in here. i run a vp150 and qs8's along with my m50's and i think they match very well. transitions from the front sound stage to the rear, and vice versa, are handled very well for both DVD-A and dolby/dts 5.1, no complaints here. i have not heard the m60 or 22 so i cant comment on the differances. i have compared the m50's to the paridigm monitor 11's which cost about 500$ more. the paridigms play a little lower but other than that the m50's match the performance of a speaker that's almost twice the price.
