Not true!
The M80s sound good at low volumes (and actually handle them pretty well). They just sound better at higher volumes.

The M80s are superb at low volumes just as at very high level. It is one of their most impressive characteristics.

Rephrased: any thoughts that M60's would sound better than M80's in the same room at a low to moderate volume? Given my wife, imminent offspring, and the @#$@#$@#$~!! party wall I don't anticipate shaking the walls very often.

Oh, they just sound better at higher volumes, simply because it's easier for the human ear to hear all the frequencies when they're not all turned down.
I don't have M60s in my house (never have), but the M80s are a significant improvement over M50s at all volumes. I hear what you're saying about low to moderate volume--that's pretty much where the M80s live, unless my wife is out of the house or she's watching NCIS.

Well, I wimped. Sorta.
I pulled the trigger and placed my order today, but decided to leave two QS8's for a later date. VP150, M60's, QS8's and EP500.
This was as much a function of furniture as it was money. My wife finally picked the finish but HAD to have custom wood (walnut, caramel finish) so I was the gentleman and compromised.
Now, the wait.

Curiously, mine doesn't care about the finish at all -- the standard cherry vinyl is fine with her, but I must admit that I like the HGC a *lot* better, based on the samples from Axiom.

Ok, has it been 3 weeks yet? I guess I could look back a few posts on when I ordered but that would depress me. I didn't think the wait would be this bad........
