Quite frankly, I really don't know where this so-called M80 harshness stuff got started. A few months ago I traded a pair of M60s in for a pair of Vasallo M80s and despite the extra tweeter in the M80 along with a bigger cabinet and more drivers, I was quite surprised how similar the two models sounded.I have listened to and viewed several discs, (Blu-Ray and standard DVD movies, SACD, DVD Audio and regular CDs) and they all sound great even at high volumes without a hint of this "so-called" harshness.
I think the accusations have been made primarily by people that have never owned or even heard the M80s and just "bought" what they have read on the forums, especially those that were connected to another manufacturers product in order to justify their purchase. You see it everywhere with individuals who, despite any comparisons, have a preference for a certain brand anyway.
