To answer your question directly. I'd go for the M22/EP500, but you'll find that when you add the cost of the M22 stands you are not saving a whole lot of money Vs the M60s ... and those towers look better for WAF IMHO.

If for movie veiwing I would go with the M22/EP500 you are going to cutoff at 80 hz. Also the extra balls the 500 has will make up in the difference.
If you play alot of music I would tkae the M60 setup plus unless you listn to alot of opera/classical the 350 should do the trick.

You still would use an 80hz crossover even with m60's and set them to small, this is not specific to just bookshelfs.

Of course, there are alot of DIY options for stands that will perform just as well as $300 stands...
"TNT Stubby Stand"
For a total of $37 per pair and they look pretty decent? Makes the M22s look alot cheaper.

I have considered this.
Much depends on the final choice of furniture for the basement. If the M22 won't fit, then I agree that the floors will be better than buying stands.
I know that if they are on shelves, they have to be as far forward as possible to avoid the near field reflection problem.
Part of the motivation for the question was to see how flexible I could be at that price point for placement options.
Actually, my wife seems to be very much against floor standing speakers. I think she thinks they are too big, boxy, and space consuming.
