Bottom line, even crappy speakers can make a good soundstage if the seating location and speaker distances to listener and walls works from a physics and acoustics perspective to the preferences of the individual.



I agree with you on that one. Like I said in my post above, I think the average listener would be hard-pressed to pick out the Sonys from the M80s at higher power levels.

As for in/on-walls, I will continue believing that even excellent ones can't create the soundstage of even mediocre floor-mounts or book-shelves. For those that are looking to tuck their speakers out of the way, in/on-walls are excellent provided there is a willingness to sacrifice soundstage.
