I notice a big difference between the ti and my v3.
if your running 5.1 or 7.1 and your planning on upgrading then that centre channel needs to go the same route.

That said is the difference worth $1500, I don't know ... to me yes.

Whynot order the M80v4 and try a side by side. If there not then it only costs you $90 to find out.
