I think it's sad that I DO know what he's talking about.

I also got M60ti 2 weeks ago. I agree with you that M60 has plenty of bass when listening to music. However, after keep turning power on and off on the sub, i get used to the way i listen to music with a sub. To me, M60 + Sub will give me full sound and i love it. I only turn off the sub when I listen to Jazz or pop.
enjoy music.

I am currently on the fence between M60 and M22 as well as Ascend and Dynaudio bookshelf spkrs. I listened to a lot of high end speakers and found that most towers tend to get muddled or boomy compared to a lot of bookshelf spkrs. I demoed these with jazz and acoustic CDs mostly to really be able to pinpoint the clarity factor.
Can anyone elaborate what the proper "space" is for the M60. I sit about 10 feet from the main speakers which are about 5 feet apart and 10" from the wall. In speaking with a guy at Axiom he strongly recommended the M60 but it is my understanding that these are much more position sensitive than a smaller speaker.

Craig, if you have the opportunity, the M60s might benefit from a bit more separation. Only 5 feet is like having one really long eyebrow. Also, they benefit from a little room from the back wall - seems like I remeber 18" - 24".

If you do a search, you'll probably find some posts I made stating that same exact thing. The M60ti's don't seem to suffer from that issue. I also found that they sounded a mite bit clearer when lifted off the ground a few inches.
The basic rule of thumb on placement is to try and set them as far apart as you'll be away from them in the "sweet spot". That being the case, 5' apart is really close together.

Spiff, what do you use to lift them off the ground a few inches?

Believe it or not they make tower speaker stands.
Before you buy stands though, you could use pretty much anything to get them off the ground and see if it sounds better to you.
The issue is the interaction with the floor. It tends to muddy up the mid-bass. The M60ti's are the clearest towers I've heard though. (well, for under $2500)

5 1/2 inches tall? that might work. one reason I got the M60s is because I wasn't comfortable with the M22s on a stand. We have three cats, one of them being a spritely 20 pounder who thinks he's Michael Jordan.

you mean you've not heard of "speaker lifters"? think they're available at auto parts stores next to the valve cover gaskets.
