I agree 100% on trying out speakers...I have never bought any that i did not listen too. But i have moved and my speaker choice is now from Best Buy. Nothing i would even consider...LOL

So i'm stuck with the internet. I have nothing against the Swans in fact they look really good, but that, means nothing. The fact that i have read they don't do loud well, plus the fact i can't find really any warranty on these....and the fact that the saleman would just bypass that question..just not great, which would make me run the other way.

My choice is the M80's..which will be put up against my old Polk SDA 1c's. Even with 1 bad driver they still put out some good volume. But I "assume" the M80's will show there worth..pretty much strait out of the box. The Polks are 25 years old, and broke. If the M80's can't just blow them away..then theres something wrong....LOL To be honest, i'll know in a 1/2 hour or less.
