pmbuko, I saw in the auditions thread you're in Oakland, so I thought you might be talking about the SF csw store. that's where I picked up mine, and the in-store presentation was not good at all... In fact, at the time, they didn't even have any in the demo rooms and the M80's are just sitting in the shelf in the main store area. they sounded lousy in the store, but better at home. They actually sell the Newton line at Fry's now and that actually seems like a better place to demo, assuming it's not crowded and noisy. altough that's more south bay.
