I received my m22ti's this week from the factory outlet, after the promised 8 week wait period (black oak finish).
I was a little disappointed in that both speakers did have noticeable blemishes. I was hoping any imperfections would be in the back of the units or minor enough to be missed, but one of the speakers has two small bumps in the vinyl on the bottom of the left side, and the other has a bump in the vinyl right in the front at the bottom edge.
Still minor imperfections, and I knew this was possible when dealing with the outlet, so no sour grapes from me. I was just hoping for better luck!
The sound, however, is very very good. My home theatre room isn't finished yet, so I was listening in an empty 21x12ft room with just an unfinished subfloor and sheetrock on the walls. I have them hooked up to my H/K avr325 - I couldn't be more happy with what I'm hearing.
When I get my SVS subwoofer fired up to fill in the low low end, it's going to be an incredible experience.
