I bought 2 pairs of M22ti's and a VP150 center channel speaker about 5 weeks ago from The Audio Shop in Ottawa. I tell you the price/performance ratio on these speakers is off the scale. I chose the Boston Cherry finish on them and they are very attractive and well-built speakers with good 5-way binding posts. Sound-wise these beauties will knock your socks off. Great clarity and smoothness in the treble and midrange. Bass is accurate and tight down to 55hz. It was a snap to integrate them with my 2 NHT subs. I can't listen to enough music now. Along with the VP150 they create a wonderful seamless soundstage that seems to make the speakers disappear, and that the musicians are in your living room. Big, wide soundstage. On DDandDTS soundtracks on dvd or satellite these boys are downright explosive. Don't just take my word for it. There are 37 reviews on AR, and rave reviews on Audioholics.com and Soundstage.com. This is the best A/V purchase I have ever made in over thirty years of enjoying this hobby!

To anyone who has experience with these speakers:
Please qualify and quantify the sound characteristics of these speakers. Any info at all would be much appreciated, including the type of amplification necessary to make these budget speakers sound the best that they can.
I currently own a pair of NHT 2.5i's that I have to sell because they are simply too large for my room. I find the 2.5i's to be quite bright and fatiguing (although with the proper equipment, I'm sure these traits can be tamed).
Essentially, I am trying to replace my NHT's with something smaller, which will be paired with a good quality integrated amp (looking at the Unison Research Unico and the Simaudio Moon i3 - By the way, information on these would be appreciated as well.
The source is currently an RCD 971 by rotel, which will either be upgraded with an MSB Dac or simply replaced by an all in one unit.
