In the end, it's not what others think. It's what YOU hear!
Welcome to the boards.
I have to agree with the above quote. I recently purchased m60's after testing many many brands at all price ranges. The most important thing is to learn what you like to hear. Your friends are not the ones to please.
I will add that your ears will adjust to the sound of your speakers somewhat but it is essential to know what you like. Don't buy just because one speaker is more accurate if you like a little more laid back sound. On the ohter hand don't but laid back if you really are looking for accuracy and neutrality just because your friends think it sounds better. It's very hard not to respond to that bassier laid back sound if that is all you have heard for years.
For what it is worth I love my 60's with or without my sub in the mix. Trust your ears and go with what you like!
