And because of that off axis drop at the crossover the difference is such that the M60 is actually the smoother (better?) speaker here. (I am very much struggling between the two more so than choosing an amp.) The midrange driver smooths it all out. But, Because the midrange driver is covering a relatively large and critical area of the sound spectrum, can it by it's size pack a punch for rock music. In the M50s, two sixes push that air. Of course, a 6" can't accelerate as fast as a 5" (all things being equal) that's why there is a loss of detail too.
