My brother and I are upgrading our ht/audio systems and he bought this canton karat speakers. I'm planning to get the M-80 and I'm not sure if these 2 speakers are comparable. Price wise, the cantons sell for $2400/pair,price is not an issue. Can the M-80 outperform this cantons? When i listened to the cantons, they sounded good. I want my speaker choice to be much better than his performance wise and aesthetics within the same price range that he paid. Both of us have Yamaha RXV-1 as pre-pro, Threshold 250 watts/channel amp and Z-series bi-wire Monster cable all around. Thanks!
