With a sub, I hear no difference between M5 bookshelves and M2s. I'd even say the M2 soundstage and imaging is slightly better.
I'd be very interested to hear what you think of M5s compared to M60s or M80s. I can tell you that I take M5s over M100s. Yes the M100s can go louder and sound more like instruments and voices but, in my spaces, the M5s image and soundstage much better than the M100s. They completely audibly disappear and so do the M2, M3 and M50.
Relative to your ears, what is the height of your M5 tweeters? Did you place the M5s "into" the room?
