Thank you Grunt, that was the answer i was looking for. Placement of the M80's has alot to do with the soundstage. Which is fine. I was never sold on the Swans, in fact the reviewer even noted that they can not reproduce the treble like the M80's. Doing LOUD well, is a must in my case. I had a feeling the Swans were going to be lacking in that department.
It's very hard to find a speaker to compare the M80's with in this price range, the Swan stuff was as close as i could get.
The M80's would be replacing my old set of 1986 Polk SDA1C's, which i can no longer get fixed. The Polks do produce a large soundstage, which i hope the M80's can match.
I have no fear about the M80's being able to match or exceed the Polks volume levels, the Swans i was not so sure about.
