Randy, Bob Dylan also wrote and sang a song (for a while) about a man whom he believed was wronged by the judicial system of our country ... Bob Dylan writes to sell, that's where his livelihood comes from.

I never said the 60s were not great speakers, I did say I thought the 80s had a *something* the 60s were lacking.

That's because you never heard the M80s

Rick, you may have misunderstood me. I actualy didn't even realized you used the word "lacking" in your previous post. I wasn't addressing you, but everyone in general, as it seemed everyone was hinting that the m60's were the little brother of the m80's, which they are, I just wanted to let the poster know that the m60's are very good speakers that most would be totally satisfied to own.

In regards, to Bob Dylan, I'm a huge fan and have been to 3 of his concerts, and own most of his CD's. Again, I was commenting to the poster as he said he liked Bob Dillan, and I just made a joke about he must not be a big fan based on the spelling.

Sorry for the confusion, I look up to you for all the advice you've given me in the past. Ok, the other Rick is pretty good also.

And I would certainly hope that you know our house has the welcome mat in place for you anytime you care to visit Randy.

Make sure they bring their swim trunks because Jan won't let them leave without taking a dip in the pool. Then there's that beautiful beach just down the road.....

.....I'm feeling mighty jealous right now. Damn you Rick.

Last night I carefully repacked the 60s and set up the 80s,
and played my favorite Bob Dilllionn cds, amongst others.
I'm dealing with "the wife factor". Placement options in my
living room are limited to one; speakers on each side of a
fire place on spanish tiles that extend 18 to 20 inches from
back wall to carpet. The 80s bass was way distorted
probably due to the sonic bounce from the 3 inch away back
brick wall. The 80s are not as placement friendly as the
60s. This info is of course pertinent only to my situation.
Given the right environment the 80s would be great. Tonight
I unpack the 60s, hook them up to my amps B speakers, and
do a side by side comparison. You know, I always loved the
60s, and I'm old enough to not remember.

I had the same problem when I first hooked up my 80's, they needed more distance from the rear wall than my 60's did. Once I got them at the correct distance, about 9 inches from the rear wall in my case, they sounded great.


A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

Actually, I'm sure Ian and Alan told me that our sonic memory is incredibly short, so age has nothing to do with whether or not you remember the M60s.
