Apologies in advance for another - howzit sound question...

I've never owned a "high end" system, and am finally looking to purchase a receiver and speakers. I've pretty much decided that my budget can include an RXV-1500 leaving about $1000.00 for a pair of speakers.
I listen to just about any kind of music - Aerosmith to Zawinul... bluegrass to Bartok...

I went to Tweeter last night and listened to their "Sapphire STx" models. I wasn't particularly impressed - by either their old ST versions or their latest model with the crossover change.

Has anyone listened to the Sapphire ST's at Tweeter? Do they compare at all to the M60's?

BTW - I'm looking into a road trip to hear some M60's in the near future. Anyone near Coventry CT?

Thanks!
