For a little counterpoint on the Songtower here is a quote from this review.

"My other main quip has to do with the treble. Although the SongTowers well-rounded and likable high end is easy on the ears, it lacks natural bite and grit that real instruments have. Those who place high value on frequency extension, detail, air, and desire to have a lively presentation will want to go with the upgraded ribbon tweeter – which is available from Salk Sound at an additional charge."

Bob wants a much more laid back speaker than the M80. Some people do. I stongly suspect I would continue to prefer the M80 for its 'live' sound.

Strangely, Bobs review of the songtower/M80 at audioholics was quite ballanced and he pretty much stated it was a sound he did not like. He also mentioned that the speakers did not sound as brite to him in his host's abode (pretty much admiting by implicationthat his room is also an issue).
