A very nice, and articulate post, Spoiler. I understood EXACTLY what you were talking about when you said...
"I shake my head in what is almost disbelief as that tingle goes down my spine again listening to Flim and the BB's... if anyone out there is familiar. I haven't been this excited about audio since I was a kid. You read about speakers being 'musical', but I had no idea until I sat in front of these M80's."
My speakers and the music are different, but the head shaking and the tingle are the same, as is my renewed interest in music. I started out with an 90:10 ratio of movies to music, and am now about 50:50.
I will also second your price/value comment.
By the way, I too was a lifelong musician, until retirement.
