Winterpeg,
I listened to the same B&Ws and I like the M60s Better.
(TO MY EARS). YMMV!
I think that the 60s are very, very close to the 703s sound wise, and I was able to buy my entire set-up for less than a pair of the 703s.
I was very depressed after hearing the 703s because I loved them, but I knew that I could not afford them at this time. Then I stumbled on a post at Audioholics.com comparing those 703s to the M60s, and as they say, the rest is history.
