Also, if you're willing to consider the extra expense of the EP350 ($768) + M22s ($488) = $1256 but are sure that you'll upgrade to the M80s later on anyways, you could get the M80s directly for the same price from the auction site. You could even get them cheaper if you don't care about the all-aluminum driver and the magnetic grill as Axiom still sells some V2s (but with V3 components I suppose) on the auction site.
If you are sure that you want the M80s, that's what I would do. They have great bass. I have them for almost a year now, still no sub, and I feel that I am not missing anything for music. Of course, for movies, that's a different story, I can't get the LFE provided by a sub but at loud volumes, the M80s can still make my room rumble. I knew that I wanted the M80s so that's the route I took and I'm very happy with my decision.
