Hey Bud,
I have not read every single word in this thread so maybe someone suggested this already but why dont you grab a few of your favourite CDs/movies and find someone in your neighbourhood who has M60s. Play your CDs/movies on his system and see what they sound like? If the sound is better than your system (keeping in mind that speakers sound different in different setups) there is something wrong with your setup. Else, your ears just like the Def tech sound better (which is quite possible). I have a pair of M60s, a pair of QS8s and a VP150 and I just love the sound. M60s go fairly low but certainly not as low as a dedicated subwoofer. I dont have a sub hooked up at this time and I dont mind it. I like the sound of my speakers for both music and movies.
