But the M100s sounded more like real instruments, went louder than I needed with no distortion and were just AWESOME for movies. I couldn't get enough of movies, man! It was an amazing 3D soundstage. This is when I realized that towers really matter for movies.

I totally agree with Mojo here, Movies ROCK when watching with the M100's and they are my goto speakers when i'm going to turn up music or hear a new song.
It's more important that the M100's have proper amplification with a decent receiver, it's been my personnel experience that the smaller speakers are more forgiving with less than ideal equipment pushing them.
I have the M80 on walls, they do not compare to the M100's, for obvious reasons (cabinet volume makes a big difference) plus there's probably a lot more going on in that cross over due to the larger cabinet. I've not heard the M80s so I can't comment further.
