Uh huh. So from this Nick, I intuit you need to trade those M60s for active LFRs, yes?  Bah, what's $8,800 for 2 new speakers, right?

All speakers should have a sub either way. For the bookshelves I think the 350 would be sufficient unless you like deep. While I used M3 M22 mains a SVS PB1000 was great. Then I got M80 to which you'd need at least an EP500.

Brendo, I fully agree. I remember when I first set up my M100s. I said to myself "These don't need no stinkin' sub". Then I hooked up my 800 and set my brain right. LOL!

Here in Vancouver you could easily spend that much and plenty more on sources. Gryphon audio has a C.D. player for 36K.
My local shop whom had Bryston for the last couple years { HiFi Center}. No longer see it on their site, has gone really high end. Sadly it's the stuff most can only dream of having one day.

Sadly it's the stuff most can only dream of having one day. Ha ... I think I’d feel foolish if I owned most of that “high end” stuff. Its kind of like owning a Rolex.... more about advertising your wealth then about telling time. If you tell me it’s jewelry ... so is high end audio That said there is one item that I would buy if money had no meaning to me ... might make a fun thread to let you guys guess what it might be ...

Here, here, Rich!
Where do we start? How about a category?

I'm extremely disappointed. I had a pair queued up for my retirement present to myself. (Was spending an inordinate amount of time comparing various woods and finishes.) I think Axiom made a mistake, as I think the M22s are better than the M5s, especially for music. (I have M5s, M22s, M3s and M2s, and the M22s were my favorite.) I never thought I'd be looking elsewhere.
It would have been nice to have been informed of a "last call" too.
Okay, from the time I started the email to now I went from sad to ticked off. Damn.

Cork, send Ian an email. It's not like he burned the plans.
