Thanks for the input. Much appreciated.
By live I did mean live as in live in my listening room (or live in a small jazz club where they don't augment the sound hardly at all).
The M60s are looking good for me on two levels. First, I think it'll be fine in my room and second, the AR9s are MONSTERS at 5'4" tall and weighing around 120 pounds. I'd really like to get away from giant speakers if possible and the M80s might be too intrusive. Still.....I've had buyer's remorse before.....
As for age....well....I'm 70 and broken-down but I still have the heart of a lion
