I've probably said this a dozen times or so now, because it keeps coming up.......but anyway, I found the 703's sounded more alike to the M80's I ended up buying than the 600 series. The M80's have more base, tighter mids and pretty close to the same highs. The speaker I think sounds VERY close to the M80's are the Paradigm Reference Studio100's. The 80's are just slightly more detailed, with a tighter mid range. Base is damn near identical. I much preferred the Paradigms over the 703's and was going to buy them. The Paradigms were $2800 US, so I took up Axiom on their free trial offer, liked them as much as the Paradigms, kept them and haven't regretted it yet.
