There have been some people that have had problems with emotiva and the m80's so watch out.

If I already had the M22 and a sub, I don't know that I would upgrade. $1200 buys a lot of Big Macs, or ups the budget for a nice display unit, or buys a lot of good beer...
I found that listening to the M22 + sub was very very similar to the M60, only with noticably more bass. Given the price of the M22 + stands, I found extra cost of the M80 worth it. I'm sure that was all very unhelpful. Thank you Mark.

They say the m60's have a more laid back sound so you may not like the switch if you've grown to love the m22's. since you are running a sub tho you might not notice a huge difference... how big is your room? I'm not bitin'

Jovon, Happy Birthday! All I can add is that I'm delighted with my M22s and EP500, and can't imagine needing something bigger except in the very largest listening rooms with a correspondingly long listening distance.

If M60s have a more laid back sound, I doubt it's noticeable without a test that involved instant switching. M50s are much more laid back, and that's hard to tell without listening hard.

I listened to all 3 for close to 2 hours at Axiom and had lots of opportunity to A/B all the combinations. You can hear differences in a direct comparison, but all three are sonically very very close. $1,200 could buy you a lot of good music and some really nice concert tickets.
