I received my HP 80's Tuesday. I got real wood this time. One of the boxes had a hole in it. The speaker's veneer is splitting down one side. The Axiom jewelry is missing the m. The speakers do look sweet in real wood.

The biggest thing I noticed right away everything seems to be cleaner, by that I mean more defined easier to identify the instruments. The sound is not muddy. I'm not saying the M80v3 is muddy this speaker just seems to be noticeably clearer more defined. These speakers are located in my home theater system.

Anyone else's thoughts?
