Good choice on the M50s. I've had mine for quite a while now and couldn't be happier.

Uh...no, that's not true.

If I had gotten them in a real wood finish, maybe the Wife would have rather they be out where we could see them instead of in cabinets where they are partially hidden and the sound is compromised.

Yeah the real wood is good. Good idea!!

Seriously; I am extreemly fond of my M50s. Now if I could just get MY system back from the kids!!
Rich.
