I was going to make that argument, but that's the problem with border cases (such as the comparison of using rusty baling wire vs using $5000 cables of solid silver)--they don't exactly get at nuances. For example, it's possible that in a truly horrible room, M80s would sound worse than, say, Paradigm Monitor 7s in a well sorted room. But then, that's also a border case. In 2 different average rooms (even in 1 average room and one well treated room), the M80s are going to sound better than Monitor 7s.
