Yep...the M22's are indeed very nice. If you keep them in a small to mid-sized room they're more than nice.

I was in a fairly large room, and like to play my music and movies at 75 - 85db often, so I started to strain them a bit. Moved up to the M60's and I don't think I could strain them. My ears would give out before they strained.
