CatBrat ... yes I've considered the M60's. When I posted my question a while back on M60's vs M22's, the general response was since the EP500 was able extend as far as it does, the M22's offered more mid-range with the dual 5.25's instead of the single mid driver in the M60's. Granted the M60's have 2 woofer driver's, but I'll have the EP500 to take care of the lower frequency range. Wow, everything I've read - especially from people who've had experience with e M22's, just absolutely rave about them. Hmmmm, I think I'll pull the trigger on the M22's then. I can always upgrage in the future if I choose to. I plan on powering the system with a Denon 2311/4310.
