I went from M2s to M60s because the M2s (in a stereo configuration with sub) could not play at "loud rock music" levels without sounding congested. Not surprising given the size of the speaker.

With M60s I got essentially the same sound, but with the ability to play at significantly higher sound levels while maintaining that "clear and open" sound.

M22s would be somewhere in between, ie probably comfortable at any reasonable SPL in a moderate sized room, or for listening at moderate SPLs in a large room. If you want loud AND large room then you need bigger speakers.

The bigger box helps with the bass and makes 60s more satisfying standalone stereo speakers, but I think most people go to larger speaker models more for the additional drivers (really driver surface area), ie to get clear sound at high SPL.
