In reply to:
Some audio folks that I respect quite a bit are big proponents of the bookshelf + sub approach and claim that they will usually outperform floorstanders.
And in most cases I'd agree...until I heard the M60ti's. Most floorstanders I'd heard in the past were always very muddy in the upper/mid-bass range. I just hated that. Pairing a good bookshelf speaker with a good sub gave me clarity throughout the spectrum. And to me that was most important.
Then I heard the M60ti's.
Tight and clean throughout their entire frequency range. On top of that (assuming your room is large enough) the towers gave me a larger soundstage, and a bit more depth in that critical mid-bass area.
I was sold. Love my M60's.
