You know you make an excellent point here Adrian. I'm in the boat where I've never experienced truely forthright speakers in my home. Every speaker I've ever owned have been very colored, laid back, muddy, what ever you may want to call them. So I can definately see where, upon hearing the M80's or any truely high end speaker for the first time, I might feel the highs over power the rest of the music. I will try to keep in mind that what I'm hearing is exactly what the artist (or at least the guy behind the mixing table in the studio) intended for me to hear. And then go from there.

If I don't like what the artist intended for me to hear, then I guess I could always go into my EQ and try to tame that high end down. Not saying I'm anticipating that, just that it's an option if I do feel that way.
