Darius I run my M22's an Onkyo 605 and I haven't experienced fatigue at all. I'm glad you had the 350 because a good sub is a MUST with those speakers. Their clarity and detail is excellent, they just don't go down as low as larger speakers. For HT and music both you will not be disappointed

Darn guys, why do you have to make them sound so good? I got the factory outlet ones so it'll be another 5 weeks before I get these! Any recommendations for some of the first things I listen to on them (when they eventually get here)?

I don't have M22's, I have M3's, but from what I've read, they are very accurate speakers and will make poor recordings sound so. Without knowing your music tastes, it would be difficult to recommend music. Anything by Dire Staits would be good. Norah Jones, Diana Krall, Dave Matthews perhaps. I'm sure others will chime in. JohnK could certainly recommend some classical as he is an M22 owner. Be sure to give them a run through your collection and report back on your impressions. Hopefully they will arrive sooner.

Thanks for the advice. I tend to be eclectic, with everything from Iron Maiden to classical to blues and rap. What I would really like though is some recommendations for organ music.

Before the night is through, you will have some... it is almost a certainty. Cue JohnK.

No one wrote for the organ like J.S. Bach and he is unsurpassed. I particularly recommend albums by Peter Hurford on Decca and DGG, as a start. I can't remember who here wrote the above, but I saved the suggestion for future reference.

Yeah Jason, that sounds like me. Darius, for an excellent hybrid SACD(also with regular CD track)containing the Saint-Saens 3rd Symphony("organ" symphony)and shorter organ works I suggest this disc from a concert where Philadelphia's new organ was inaugurated. Then, as mentioned above, for a collection of Bach's organ works I suggest this 2-CD set by Peter Hurford.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
