For the record, I think M3s are great. I still miss the ones I had (traded up for M40s). The main reason I am recommending 50s is that the difference between an EP125-priced sub and a somewhat bigger sub is huge.
Bottom line is that IMO you will get better overall performance out of M50s than you will out of M3s plus EP125 *or* a similar sub from anyone else. If you were thinking about M3s and a big-ass sub that would be a different story and I might vote for the sub/M3 system. I ran M2s and a big SVS sub for a while and that was remarkably effective for both movies and music. Having said that, I would still take my M60s with no sub over M2 plus SVS for a pure music system -- but for movies the M2/M3 plus a big sub is hard to beat in a smaller room.
