NeverHappy compared them favorably to the M80s and M60s (?). Also, my wife liked them better than the other speakers in the lineup, so, there you are. After I got them, I compared them to the M22s that pmbuko has. There's a difference in the sound, but we were hard pressed to say which speaker was better. You can find the review if you search for M50 vs. M22.

The M40s I discounted because, well, I didn't want a speaker with 2 drivers.

From perusing the various reviews of the M50, I seem to get two contrary stories:

1. The M50 has quite a bit more clarity than the M40 (Alan Lofft says this a few times).

2. The M50 has less clarity than the M40s (mhw described them as having "muffled" vocals, expressing dissatisfaction with that term).

It seems like the M40 relative to the M3 adds more bass but loses a little midrange clarity; it would seem that some people are saying that the M50 has less of the latter problem, and some are saying that it has it more.

Is there any consensus?...other than that the M60 beats them both, I've read that plenty of times.

The M50s have great vocals, imho. My only issue with them vs the M22s was that the M22s had a wider soundstage. But the M50s were also not optimally placed. I think I still need to tweak them some more, but overall, they're great. I've never heard the 40s or the 60s so I can't really speak to those. A lot of it does depend on placement and room dynamics, though.
