Bob. I am sorry you are not liking the sound so far. I havn't ever felt that the M80s sounded thin. I don't watch tv so can't comment on the sound of the speakers there.
I am surprised about the drum comment. That was one area where I thought the M80s were amazing.
Give it a few more days. If you still don't like them, send them back. There are some people that find this speaker too bright.
I'm glad your wife likes the looks.
Fred
