I've had the M20s for about six months. It's all personal taste, but I think they're a great speaker. One thing you should keep in mind is that they need a fair amount of power to sound their best. The M20s are not that efficient.... 87db speakers (I think), so I think you want an amp that puts out at least 150wpc. I bought a Plinius 8200 integrated, which is like 225 into 4 ohms (I can't recall the exact specs right now), and I think it really helps the M20s to sound their best. Also the bass is pretty good for a small speaker. I went to a dealer and heard them hooked up to a Revel B-15 subwoofer, and although it was REALLY nice (makes me want one now), IMHO you would be happy with the M20s w/o a sub.
I also heard the B&W. I thought they sounded great, too, but I just liked the Revels better. That's the great thing about this hobby: it really comes down to what sounds good to YOU. Let me know what you decide on.
