I'm looking for any impressions any of you have had between the M60's and the M80's. Are there any difference in sound quality and characteristics between the two? Will the M80 tend to be on the bright side if placed in a room that's too small for it?

I haven't heard them side by side, but many people hear have said again and again, that the M60 and M80's sound nearly identical. The M80 can go a bit lower, and fill a larger room.
Unless you've got a HUGE room, or never intend to purchase a subwoofer, the M60's a better choice.
I have the M60's and couldn't be happier.

The thing is, the room I'm in now is open on both sides. To the right of my speakers is about 4-5 feet of space to the window. To my left I have the dining room which I use for my computer area.. I still have a great soundstage as I've experimented with the placements of my speakers. I'm sure I'm losing sound to the sides but don't know how much. That's why I don't know if the M80's would be a better way to go. But more and more I'm also thinking of the M60's.

My room is about 23' deep, 17' wide, 9' ceilings and open almost entirely on one side. The M60's are PLENTY in my room.

spiffnme,
You've got to stop this!! All this talk about the M60's is really giving me the itch. You started it in HTGuide, and now it can't be stopped. Only thing is I can't seem to reach that spot to scratch yet, since I'm still saving the moolah!! LOL!! I read your reply in HTGuide about the comparison you had with your friend with the Anthem & M&K speakers. AWESOME!!

Heh. Thanks, that was pretty funny. Now, to talk the wife into the M60s and save up money for 6 months... *scratch, scratch*

Craig,
You were way too modest in that thread. I am sure your setup sounds MUCH better than his M&K system. And I say this as a previous owner of a US$3000 satellite/sub (2.1) system from M&K!
