Ok guys, as I have posted we have done alot of remodeling. I now have just my 2 M60's in my Living room theater as you can see in my sig. We have the "modern/simplistic" look in our Townhouse.
As everyone here knows, I love my M60's and would never part with them. I do however feel that If im going to have a 2.0 system (no sub) for both movies and music (mostly movies) that I may be able to find a loudspeaker that handles bass even better then the 60's.
Any suggestions on Loudspeakers that can hit those lows in movies and such?
My budget is in the $4500-$6000 range for towers.
With my situation in mind, what would you guys suggest?
Thanks

I would suggest adding a sub to your current system rather than spending more on loudspeakers. There are plenty of good subs out there for far less money and would make a bigger impact on you movie experience than any regular speaker can.

From what I understand, the M80s would not make much of a difference in terms of bass correct?

A sub just cant happen right now with the space, wife, and thin walls of a townhouse.

Here is another great line with internet only sales and customer service like Axiom, as well as discounted used speakers. Tyler

I'm not sure I fully understand the "thin walls" comment. Your neighbors will not differentiate between a 90dB, 30Hz tone produced by a tower speaker or a sub. More bass, whether from a sub or a tower, will equal more concerns for the neighbors.
A "2.0" system designation leads me to assume stereo-only, not HT use. The M60's you have already come darn close to being full-range unless your looking for organ pedal notes....(which again, of course, would surely affect your neighbors).
In other words, I hear you saying that you want only a little more bass, so as not to be enough to annoy the neighbors. Considering the fact that the M60s are close to full range, why not buy one of the extra-small subs that can be placed in a very well hidden location? That would give you the half-octave that you're missing, without hurting the "space" issue and the WAF issue much..... and give you an extra $4,000 in your pocket.
