One guy I talked to said the M22 he listened to was harsh and it was a used one that he himself used for 40 hours. His friend who owned M22s said it sounded just like the ones he had at home - so apparently the "harshness" is there after much use as well.

I wonder if one person's "harsh" is another person's accurate or sharp. I just rented a car with a very sharp, precise sounding stereo in it. I really like it but I could see how someone else would think it is too sharp - too whatever the adjective is.

I like it. I think I will get the M22s - if they sound like this car stereo!! If only someone in the DC area had M22s I could audition!
