I just ordered a F.O. pair of M40tis and can't wait to get them. I've been living with a pair of Mission 782s for about 3 weeks and need to decide if I'm going to keep them, and I want to see how the M40s compare. It may be grossly unfair (the Missions sell for $700US with a claimed list of $1400US), but from all the audiophile press reviews I read of the M3 and by extension the M40, I think it could be very interesting. Those reviews were so glowing I didn't think it would be necessary to try the M50 or M60 (not to mention their size would be overly dominating in our living room).

As soon as they get here and I've had a chance to do some listening, I'll try to post something. It will probably be Sunday or Monday.
