The M80s have the detail of the M22s and sound way fuller(better bottom end-obviously). I did find the M60s to be slightly lacking in detail compared to the M22s until I turned up the volume then the M60s really started to shine, but at lower volumes I found the M60s uppers and mids took a back seat to the lower end notes.

I think this is one instance where an audition is a must considering the OP's desire for more detail. I am not sure the M80s will have it or not as they are not that much, if at all, more detailed in the treble than the M22's. The M80s are just a better all around speaker, as they should be considering the size/design difference.

I guess it is possible Keith's treble/detail, is the lower mids that most of us that have made the jump to floor standers from the M22's, have noticed is not as prominent with them as we would like.
