Good points by all...

The one question I have is, after 3 weeks of listening, would I really realize how well I love the M80's? Or would I just be 'used' to them? In other words, by the end of the 3 weeks I may not think much is wrong with them, but then a few months later when my friend buys 'x' brand and I go over to his house I'll realise what a huge mistake I've made?

Ha ha, that's not for real, I was just teasin. I certainly wouldn't buy these speakers, even in trial mode if I truely thought I would EVER think it was a huge mistake! I don't think the M80's would ever be a huge mistake, I'm just curious now if there are speakers worth the extra $800 to move up into the $2000 dollar range. When I first started skimming this forum I was under the impression the M80's were in direct competition with speakers that cost between $2000 and $2500 dollar speakers. But now I'm sort of wondering if that's the case?
