Yes Mark, many of those speakers are simply overpriced, often to a gross degree. In general in audio there's very little correlation between price and sound quality and it's very easy not to get what you paid for. This is particularly true for items such as players and receiver/amps where sound quality doesn't differ, but is also true to a lesser extent for speakers, where audible differences are a reality. So, get those M60s and wrap your head around the idea that you've got a terrific bargain.
