Ok guys,
I want to thank all of you for your inputs and your thoughts....after long hours of research, reading, and several trips to local stores, not to mention countless hours in several forums including this one, I have put in the order for the following:
a pair of Swan 6.1 floorstanding speakers!!
here is some info on its performance numbers:

I haven't heard them yet, but I was finally able to speak in person to a couple of people who have them (one who actually upgraded from the M50ti) and they swore by them.
at $900/pr, I cannot find anything at this price for what you get, and given that they have been compared to the M80ti, and to the B&W 704s, I have to believe they are a damn good bargain.
I will post a follow up when I recieve them, but I want to thank everyone again..
