Bye bobt.

This one has been strange from the beginning. He dumped an Onkyo Integra M504 true dual mono 4 ohm capable killer amp for no reason, refused to properly test his M80s, reminisced fondly about speakers which are old school thumpers, professed that he didn't like subwoofers when that is exactly what is needed to fill the 20-60Hz frequency range.

This was not a match that had a chance of working.

The M80s are accurate, pure and natural speakers comparable to really expensive, high end products.

They are not thumpers. They are Axioms.

Enjoy the Music. Trust your ears. Laugh at Folks Who Claim to Know it All.
