First impressions:
My M800s arrived on Thursday, and I'm very very happy with the sound. I'm amazed how expansive the soundstage is. I've been shocked several times to hear music set well outside the width/angle of the speakers; my old JBLs never did that! I set them up 12 feet apart and I'm 12 feet back, and have not had to touch them. The NADs are working great bi-amping them, and I don't think I'm had the system off in 3 days.
Over the next month, I'll need to decide if I want to spring for a set of the VaSSallo M800s. I'm not perfectly happy with the vinyl (birch) examples I have. The 90 degree edges have the characteristic look of wrapping and it looks out of place on such an amazing speaker. Its not bad, but its not perfect like the rest of the speaker. If I plan to have them for 10 years+, the extra cash is worthwhile. Maybe that edge looks better on the darker colors; I notice that Axiom almost always demo and photograph the cherry.
