Yo Adrian, Do you recall how you would compare the M80's to the Studio 100's?

Yo Dave, very similar. I would say the Studios (V4 and V5)were a tad cleaner on the highs and the M80s seemed to go a little deeper, though differences were very minor. They sounded very similar overall to me, both were very detailed, similar imaging and soundstage but at unsimilar prices.(not A/B tested)
Keep in mind: I am also comparing M80s in my very UNperfect room vs the Paradigms in a properly setup and treated sound room at an audio store. The Digms were run through a Denon 2805(?) vs my newer version 2809, so the receivers were virtually the same.
Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

I would have preferred to hear on a 1909, but oh well. I was very impressed. Good to hear you feel they sound similar.
