So I set up the M5HP, M22v4 and my Axiom m80 v4 to my Marantz 8802A pre/pro out to the D-Sonic M3-4000 amp. I used pure direct mode and turned off my sub on the pre/pro. I played 6-7 songs I use for sound quality testing. As far as sound signature I really cannot tell much of a difference which I am not surprised about. Keep in mind my M80 and M22 are v4 and not the older versions. When I upgraded from the m80ti and the M22v3 I did notice subtle differences to the v4 versions. The m22's are a lot more efficient than the other 2 and also lack the low bass of the others. For a bookshelf speaker the M5HP has nice impressive bass coming out of it. After making the adjustments to the receiver I am mostly getting enough output where I think I can get by without getting an external amp for the office but we'll see. The M5hp's will be staying in the office and the M22 re-purposed for something else. The m80's will be staying in the theater room. I am very pleased with these speakers.
