Kak, the bigger question is do you like your music/movies more upfront and detailed or more laid back, that is the biggest difference in moving from M3 to M22. The m3s are more laid back and the M22 more up front and analytical and sound so sweet, at least to me, at lower volumes which is great in smaller rooms.

Waiting is long... (isn't it by definition?)  I never did a direct compare between M3 and M22 (to address your other question!), but from what I gathered here, if you can get a good exchange using Axiom's trade-up program and are using a decent sub, it might be worth it to move to M22. Back waiting now... I am still waiting for my future M90 (or M100) to be designed, let alone be delivered at my doorstep!  PS: I didn't do a compare between M3 and M22, but I have heard M3s in my appartment next to my M80s. How does the M22's next to the M80's? I'm curious.

Yea I would like to be upfront, maybe the m22's would be my next purchase :).

M80s and M22 sound very similar, just the M80s offer more bass and detail and play louder. In my direct comparisons the M22s have sounded thinner than the M80s, toss in a sub and the differences are very minor.

I would agree with Jay. The difference between the M80 and M22+sub is noticable but not huge.

I need to add a little to my M22+sub statement. The sub needs to be a good sub. The M22s with my 13 yr old costco special 200W 12" didn't compare to the M80s, especially in the bass department, now that I have added the PB13 Ultra, the differences are much less.

I took you guys advice and used the Trade-In program to upgrade to the M22's and FMS16. Now all I have to do is wait for the M22's to arrive... I'm very excited to hear my new 5.1 system when everything arrive to my doorstep (Vp100, QS8's, and M22). Right now I don't have any speaker because I already pack my good old M3ti and going to ship it soon. I appreciate it!
Thanks guys!

Should have waited to pack up the M3s then you could compare the M3s and M22s.

Congrats, I know we'll all be interested in hearing your thoughts on the differences.
