I hesitate to say this (sorry Saturn and mwc), but the M80s with the EP600 driven by the Halos were the best I have ever heard (with the only slightly possible exception of the Revel Ultimas). Better than the Magnepans. Better than Paradigm Studio 100s. Better than Hales. Better than B&W.
Ken: The M80 with EP600 and Halos would kick most Magnepan models. With that combo the Magnepan by itself would never get down to those subterainian levels. Also the M80 might also outperform in localization and imaging of players on the stage. Magnepan is kinda surrounding sounding and pin pointing is in a general area...you know what I mean...as you have heard Maggies before. Also Maggies has a sweet spot of about 3-4 feet. Outside that space the soundstage breaks up a little. But within that sweet spot the midrange is to die for.
I wished I could have listened to that setup. It would have been awesome.
