I have had my M3's for about 2 months now. They sound MUCH better after a good break-in period. However, they do seem to have a slightly recessed midrange. I have heard from others that the M22, M60 and M80 have a more forward mid section. Some people enjoy the recessed mids of the M3 and feel it adds depth. It's just a matter of taste. If the mids are bothering you perhaps you should give the M22 a try. I might(?) give the M60 a try and see if I like them.
