I have a set of L1590's in my home office with the rare PA1 biamp modules. These are great! Very smooth, very forgiving and easy to listen to. The cloth dome tweeter is relaxed, not like most modern speakers with too much sizzle up top. I don't know anything about the later M series, however I can tell you I have no plans on selling my L1590's.
1290/1590 series are keepers in my book, resale is very high on ebay right now, I bought my 1590's with the biamps for $900 a few years back, now the biamp packs alone will bring $500 on Ebay and someone just sold their 1290's at $822!
You may be better served pricewise if you can find a pair through a local source such as a "trader" or "wantad" type publication. I personally am thrilled that I could make money on the sale of my 1590's/biamps but I'd rather let the music play through them than count the money.
