After researching and reading reviews of speakers for months, I finally settled with a pair of M80s which arrived today ! I hooked them to a pair of Outlaw 2200 monoblocks. Also using an Outlaw 990 prepro. So far things sound good. These speakers replaced a pair of Bose 301 which I had for seven years. Immediately noticed the much superior bass. Being nighttime and kids gone to bed, could not do any louder listening yet but the sound is very clean. Does the sound get better after a certain period of time ? Hopefully so. Thanks to the forum which taught me a lot.
