You've already read my thoughts from the linked thread and I still have my M22s and they are no match for the M80s even when the M22s are with the EP600. Had not had the chance nor inclination to compare all the different speakers I would have just gone with an EP500 to go with the M22s but I had always felt a 3 way speaker would sound much more real than the 2 way M22s with a sub and I was right.
