Two weeks ago I became a very happy owner of a pair of m22s and a vp150 center (I already own a svs 20-39+ sub and wharedale surrounds). I found the 22s to be so much more detailed, and so much more enjoyable to listen to than my old Home Theater Direct Level 3 speakers. All was good -- but then all you sadistic freaks kept posting about how great the m60s are... Geez, the m60s are twice the price! OK, so I orderded them today. I make a solemn oath to never read these message boards again after my M60s get here, so please don't tell me how great the M80s are. My kids need to eat you know!

Hee hee!
You'll love the M60s, I swear. Don't worry about the M80s... I think most of us have M60s as opposed to M80s, so while I think most folk are fans, there's less of a desire to 'get you up to speed,' so to speak.
And you always have your 30 days if you regret it later (unlikely!).
Congrats!

I have the M-22's and the M60's and enjoy them both very much. Did you upgrade or are you keeping the M-22's

As Spicolli once said "Those M60's totally rock Mr. Hand"
Unless you can drive 4 ohm speakers like the 80's, get the 60's and don't look back.

Don't worry, hardly anyone upgrades from 60s to 80s, seriously. Now let's talk about those surrounds

Ah ha, nitrojiber, I feel your pain. I bought three M3's for the fronts over three years ago while living in a smaller house-then we moved to a larger house-M50's were our obvious answer. To help fill the new house, our youngest daughter gave us her four kids! They too like to eat! I have an advantage though; no upgrade past the M50! So I can keep on reading these posts for ever and ever,and ever.

Yes I know that the surrounds are the weak link -- but they will have to hold me or awhile. I have been eyeing the QS8s, but I really thought it would be strange have my surrounds cost more than my mains (the m22s)!

No one can say for certain, but perhaps, once you hear the QS8s, it just may not seem so strange.

I used to use some Infinity bookshelf speakers for my surrounds, and thought hey pretty cool sounding, but when I upgraded to Qs8's, my whole interpretation of what true surround is all about changed. Unbelievable....
