Hi...I'll jump in here.

I've heard the M80s and right now one of our reviewers have them. They have some serious output capability so this is one speaker that can benefit from being farther away from walls. However, before I go into all that you may wish to check one of our sites -- www.onhifi.com -- look under the Features section. Wes Phillips wrote a 3-part article on loudspeaker and room placement with some very useful tips.
