Sushi, it's the cheaper 12" they sell, can't quite remember the number (HGS-12 sound right??). It was around $900 Cdn msrp I think. It gives good support in the low end, but I think a year or two down the road that would likely be the next upgrade.

Would it maybe make more sense to buy a really cheap receiver to use as a pre-amp (say a new Yammy 730 I think I can pick up for $400 cdn) and then maybe get the M80s now as well? That's another possibility. I don't know how much degredation in processing quality I'd get going that route, but I'd probably have a chance to compare it at the same time as the other 2 pros and see.
