Don, i think the M22's would work fine. I am a traditionalist and the M5's check all my box's. Ian has always tried to differentiate his products from others by thinking outside the box and his speakers sound great. I digress i own M80's and they are not traditional either and i think they are fantastic. I realize we all have to live within our budgets as well. You were thinking 4 QS10's and the HP5's are cheaper.

QS10's 1698
HP5's 1680

DOG is GOD spelled backwards.
What others think of me is none of my business.
