Joseph, thanks for sharing the photos with us. You have a lot of interesting equipment there. Could you give some insight on what your using to drive your m80's?
Do I see a jbl s-center on the shelf above your tv?

Joseph:
Please believe me, I'm not trying to sound inflammatory with this statement. But I see that you have lots of higher-end tube equipment; I see that you're into keeping your speaker cables raised above the floor; but you kept your old speakers in the cubbies on the wall? Or were they just put there for the photos?
If that's their usual location, did it cause problems? I ask because many feel that putting a speaker into a cabinet or "hollow" is one of the worst things you can do to the sound. It doesn't jibe with the rest of your setup and philosophies....

I don't think he kept them in the cabinet, the stands he has them on appear to have wheels on them. With all that tube gear hanging around it's only a matter of time til 2x6 shows up.

Great looking system. Tell us more.

The JBLs in the cabinets would work much better there than Axioms because they are front ported.
I had some similar JBLs for a very long time.

In reply to:

There are many days where I learn more than one new thing!
I had always thought that it wasn't so much the port (which I think of as a "vent"(??!!??) but the fact that little standing waves form within there.
I could so easily be wrong again, huh?

ANY speaker in a cabinet is definitely not optimal, but if your going to do it, a front ported one works better.
In my experience and opinion.
Which also could be wrong.
