I realize it's liable to get ugly quickly even asking, but wondering if anyone had tried out the Strata Mini's and M80's and had thoughts? I'm shopping for 2 channel speakers for the living room and stumbled across the Mini's. The idea of diversifying my gear is appealing for whatever reason. Eggs in once basket and all that. I welcome any other speakers you'd recommend considering in the 1-2k range.
The speakers will be paired with some sort of stereo receiver. I'm thinking either the Outlaw RR2150 (pseudo-retro) or a truly retro stereo receiver and a USB DAC to get audio from my macbook into analog. Vinyl will probably be added later.
I have M60's in my HT setup in the basement so I'm familiar with their sound. They're the first "expensive" speakers I've ever owned or really listened extensively to so of course I think they sound fantastic. Ignorance is bliss and all that. I assume the M80's would sound even better (and reduce the need for a sub woofer)?
