@brwsaw: funny you ask - I'm constantly toeing then in or out (or zero!) a few degrees - 2", 4", 6" from the wall, etc - every slight move changes the character of the sound. The $149 sub is fulfilling a role at this point. May end up being a novelty and get banished to the TV room for movie sound fx - so, I may just end up full circle - 2CH M80. Then I can start pining for the V4 upgrade! Upshot is I'm more than happy with the M80 V2 - love them - every so often I get swept up in the 'the quest'... ;-)
Thanks again to you all and thanks for the b-day wishes (50s in the rear view mirror!) - forgot what a nice crew we have in this forum! Best to all, Steve
