We don't have a decent audio shop within a 100 miles of Winston Salem. There are a few custom installers that maintain small showrooms and that are relying heavily on "Snob Appeal" to sell their "lines". That is where I heard the Studio 60's. I could not do a direct A-B comparison like Murph but relying on memory, the Studios were very like the M60's. You can check some of my posts right after I received my setup back in May. I am a very discriminating buyer when spending this type of cash - no matter what it is. My posts were along the lines that no one should hesitate as the speakers live up to their reputation. DO IT!
