I haven't heard the M22s, but I have heard the lsi's. His review is well thought out and well expressed. I wonder if he isn't using hyperbole to come down too rough on the 22s, but his opinion is his opinions. And, yes, if you want to compare a speaker that costs twice as much as another speaker, you may very find some differences in build quality and componentry. He may be on to something - but I'm unwilling to spend $700 on a pair of bookshelves, much less the $2500 speakers that he claims beats both pairs. At $2500, we start talking about things getting ridiculous.
