The new speakers look great, but the real fun for me will be learning about how the DSP compensates for room & boundary interactions along with the two independant sets of drivers.

Not only are they taller, but how deep are they? The M80 is already 17" deep. It will be interesting to see what kind of room/placement requirements and/or restrictions are needed.

M80s, VP180, QS8s, EP800 v3
