Went with Cherry-Bordeaux; which came out perfect. I'm upgrading from 28 years of my wife saying no to speakers in the living room. I have M5/M2s in my study and family room, both of which I love; so I'm expecting a nice improvement over those.
I also got the M80s, and I'm going to compare and keep the pair I like best. The M80s got set up last week, and they are awesome in the mid and high end; but lacking in the low end (no sub). But I'm 90% sure that was because I was using a very old 8 ohm Onkyo amp that I had stashed in the garage for 10 years.
The end-game amp is coming with the LFR660; so that'll be the real test.
Anyway, at 8 feet away I'd think the LFRs would be a better choice than the M100s. I was a little worried about the M80s 11 feet away, and I do think they're bordering on overkill. (So Mojo you were right.)
