I bought the M22s because my wife didn't want me to wait for the Hsu Ventriloquist system. (I had heard it at CES 2003 and was impressed, but it was still under development.)

I am very very glad she was impatient. The real reason she pushed me to buy was so that she could finally be rid of the giant Paradigm Monitor 9s.

Of course, I had done lots and lots of research before deciding on the M22s. They were actually my first choice. The funny thing is, I didn't discover this forum until AFTER I had bought them.
