I'm very close to buying a pair of m80's. After much research - both reading and hearing - and also considering my budget - I believe they're a good match for me, and I won't have any regrets.
My question is this: Where are the BIG speakers? Does anyone make BIG speakers for home audio anymore? I'm replacing my 30+ year old Altec Voice of the Theaters - which aren't all THAT bad, but they do have their troubles. One thing they have no trouble with is filling a room - or a house, actually - with sound. Big sound. Yes, they have an "uneven response," and get muddy now and again, but one thing's for sure. It's LOUD. So, I'm asking - how can I expect a physically small specimen to compare? What are the compromises? Why are large speakers practically nonexistent? When I want LOUD, I mean, HAVE TO STAND OUTSIDE TO PREVENT INJURY kinda loud. Did I mention I'd like GOOD sound too? Thanks for any wisdom you can throw my way!
