Yes, pmb, and I'm sure it's a very nice dog.

I didn't think it needed to be said that the Thiel towers and Klipsch sub are excellent speakers with their passive radiators and that I know this because I have the chance to listen to them daily. I suppose that with almost 13,000 posts, you are used to giving advice or just commenting on speakers, amps and receivers you have never even heard.

However, bravo on another meaningful post, pmb. Keep up the good work.

The Thiels are some great sounding speakers. I heard a set of towers at a shop up by Chicago. They were some of the best I've heard so far. Quite expensive but very, very nice.

Wid, they are wonderful speakers. Really power hungry but really wonderful. htnut, I picked up my minty pair used for about the cost of a pair of M80s. I got really lucky.

As to the Klipsch LF10 subwoofer, I read a review of the M3Tis by Colin Flood in which he reported pairing a pair of M3s with a very expensive Klipsch LF10. He loved the combo. I ended up getting the M3s and the Klipsch sub.

The power of a good review.

Mine too! I wouldn't call his ears small though. I think the brown is classified as "liver" - as he is a GSP. \:D

The speakers that I replaced with my m80's had large passive radiators. Polk Audio RTA 12's. They still sound excellent, especially when you consider they are 30 years old!

I think I almost bought a pair of those used back when I was in college. At $300, they were too rich for my blood, though.

When I decided to upgrade my home theater system the first thing that I did was research speakers and order my Axiom set. Good thing I did that first because the next thing that I did was to replace my Yamaha RXV-1000 with an Integra DTR 9.9. I had not yet received my Axioms but what a difference the new receiver made with the old polks. Had I done that first I would not have ordered the new speakers. The old polks once again sounded awesome. Then the new Axiom set arrived and awesome took another leap up. WOW I am glad of the timing of it all. Dumb luck. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day!
