I was thinking last night why my M80 was called an M80 and not a M85, M33 .... etc. Same goes to the other speakers(M60, M22 ... ). The 80 is not the height (not in centimeters). It is not the extention (they go lower than 80 Hz) .....
Any ideas ?

I don't think there's any real logic to it, but here's my thinking:
2 - 5 1/4 inch woofer - M2, M22
3 - 6 1/2 inch woofer - M3
1 - 4 1/2 inch woofer - M1
0 - 3 1/2 inch woofer - M0
The towers is where it gets confusing. So say we add an end 0 for towers, and say that the tweeter is 1 in this case.
M40 - 1 tweeter + 1 #3 woofer + end 0 for tower
M50 - 1 tweeter + 1 #3 woofer + end 0 + 1 for duplicate driver
M60 - disregard tweeter, #2 woofer+#3 woofer + 1 for duplicate driver =M60
M80 - 1 tweeter, #2 woofer+ #3 woofer + 2 for duplicate driver
err....
Oh, I give up. Because they felt like it.

I figured Ian was looking at the product line one day and decided "gee, I really like designing speakers, I'd better space out the numbers and leave some gaps for future speakers or I'm going to run out of model numbers one day".

Hey, my naming scheme holds for the QS series!
QS2 = 2 x 1 for tweeter, 2 x 0 for 3 1/2 inch woofer
QS4 = 2 x 1 for tweeter, 2 x 1 for 4 1/2 inch woofer
QS8 = 2 x 1 for tweeter, 2 x 2 for 5 1/4 in...aw crap.
no it doesn't.
Let's see:
VP100 = 1 for twee -- um, screw it.
VP150 = /me storms off

Bridgeman, Sound like something I would do.
Maybe you are right.
