Thanks for the encouragement. I know the 60's are very popular around here. I just hope I don't start second guessing myself about not going for the 80's.

Unless you play tunes at completely deafening levels, the 60s will be fine.
I play mine loud, and they have alot more in them.

I agree with Bray, lately I've been testing my 60's to see what they can give me. Plenty loud for this old 80's metal head

Congratulations Oz on your new purchase!!
I have M60s too in a stereo only setup, and am very happy with their performance. Sooner or later, they will be part of my future HT as well.
Now, should I have gone for M80s, probably yes, even though have never heard them. They say, their sound is very similar, but M80s play louder, and I would assume "fuller" especially in a large room like mine. One thing I have learnt in this new hobby: more is never too much!

The 60's are excellent speakers. I tried them. I love my 80s. Even in a smaller room.

Doug, apart from your earlier review, I have not been able to read anything else comparing M60s with M80s (only general statements on sound similarity). And, for as much as I can recall from yours, I only remember "louder" being mentioned. I would appreciate if you can shed some more light on the benefits you noticed from upgrading (or any links on previous comparisions in this forum).
Others, that have had the chance to try them both, plaese fill free to chime in.

How small a room have you tried the 80's in?

Many of you have said that and I think that is what really made me choose the 60's. I heard them plenty loud at billy's when I went there. Although his room is a bit smaller than the one I plan on using. Generally I don't listen at volumns quite as loud as I used to but your always come across a track that says crank it up. The other reason I went with the 60's, and you guys may think this is crazy, I like the way they look. I know who cares how they look it's all about the sound. I also want the flexibility in the event I just keep them in the smaller room I'm in now which is 10 x 14.
I know I'll be happy with them. It's just the stupid crap that goes through my mind whenever I have to make a decision.

In reply to:

Mine may eventuallly be incorporated into the full HT some day also. I have a Polk 6600 set which is ok for what it
is , but as we all have seen things change in this hobby.
