I too recently bought the M80's for low to moderate volume levels with the accompanying detailed and full range sound that was lauded on these pages. For me, like Peter indicated, the sound makes me want more and thus to turn up the volume. I have found over time (about 6 months) that there is for me a sweet spot that fully bring these speaker to life...above and beyond their lower volume performance. It just happens to be a notch louder than the volumes I usually listen to, however it such a joy to hear them replicate an orchestra performance where the sound stage is
three-dimensional and the instruments sound very true.....Lee
