A good question about the m50's. I loved many things about the m40's but found them too laid back for my taste, was pleased with the midrange detail of the m22's but didn't want to deal with stands and a sub, so the m60's seemed logical and I decided to skip the m50's. I figured that if I had to go above the m40 in size, I wanted as much midrange detail as possible, and the m50 has often been said to be a bit laid back compared to the m60.
I do like the way the m60's are a bit forward. It would have been nice to compare all of the towers though, especially since I've heard a few people say that the m50 is a nice compromise between the laid-back m40 and the forward m60. I'd like to give the m50's a listen some day and find out what I've been missing.
