Hello les9596,

Hope you are well. I think we all want the best when it comes to our home theaters. One advanatge to all M2 or M3 is that when a movie pans from left to center to right to back etc...it all is sonically matched.

Don't discount the sound of the M2's in two channel mode with a sub, they sound fantastic playing stereo music. The sub fills out the bottom and an 80Hz crossover blends in seemlessly with the sub...even a crappy one like mine. They transition to the sub so smoothly, it really sounds like the bass is coming from those tiny speakers. I would not play them without the sub on, in 2 channel mode...they need the sub.

I honestly don't know if I need the M22's or not. I will not know till Christmas when the new SVS 16-46PC Plus arrives, and I see how the little M2i's blend in with a much larger sub.

Later,

TonyM
