I listened to some of the B&W line and definitely the M22 sound great until you reach the CM series. The B&W 600 series does not have as defined mid and highs as the M22Ti but the CM2 which is also a bookshelf has definitely clearly more refined highs and mids. Or it could have been the better source of music. (All was setup with Rotel separates and $800 speaker wires) But the M22Ti at around $550 cdn vs CM2 at $1200 cdn, I have better things do with $600 cdn. Like get that Rotel CD player.
