That and the fact that you can put them up in the rafters of, say a speaker manufacturing facility, and they will fill the place with great sound.

Whatever, their just speakers.

Wait, fredk said they will fill the place with great sound, and you say they're just speakers? I think that's what speakers do. It's not like Fred was saying they cure cancer... unless it was in code.

Have you tried the Decoder Ring on the Denon Owners Manual yet?

Hi,

I have owned my M80's now for about six months and still love them. The only thing I don't like about them is that they don't like playing low quality audio signals like some avi movies. Occasionally I can hear crackling from the speakers, which I assume is just an accurate reproduction of the low quality audio signal coming from the source. My friend has some lower quality speakers that sound much better without the crackling when I play the same low quality audio signal through. Does this sound typical?

My other question was in relation to the power handling capacity of the M80's. I have heard that the M80's can handle 700 watts RMS running continously. I find this hard to imagine as I can see significant speaker cone excursion while only running about 140 watts RMS through them. It looks like the speakers are running close to maximum capacity even at only 140 watts RMS. Has anyone ran their own tests on the M80's to see their true capabilities.


\





your 140 watts, is this a receiver or seperate amplifier? this makes the difference. dampfact on a receiver is always low, and 140 watts receiver pushed to the limit is more like 90-100 watts rms, the 140 is probably a peak. axioms need lots of power. a 100 watt amp is nothing

A wee bit emotional today are we?
I can't believe grown men get upset over comments made about loadspeakers! It's not a personnel attack!

Actually, I think he was being funny. I certainly meant all my comments in fun. The image of those M80s stuck up there in the rafters just popped into my head when I read your post. They really look kind of odd up there, but hey, it works. \:\)
