M3/M60, yes there is a big difference in bass. The M3 is a true bookshelf and plays a reasonable amount of bass, just not loudly. The M60 will reach lower in frequency due to the larger cabinet and extra drivers, this allows it to produce bass at a more useable volume level. A sub wil help fill out the lower end of the M3, even the M60 sounds better with a good sub, but is not really required.
You will also find the M3 has a different tone to it than the M60. If you like the overall sound of the M3 maybe moving to the M50 would be in order. It has one extra 6.5" driver and the larger box to help reinforce the lower frequencies.
The M60 is a little more forward with its presentation, the mids and upper range are a little more pronounced than the M3.
What size of room are these in?
