Have you already sent back the M80s? Do you still have all 3 speakers? Might be fun to set up a listening test.

My major complain with the M80 is not the treble energy, the bright sound do not bother me at all, I like bright forward sound, but bright in the sense of upper highs, not on the midhighs, the mids were too present for my taste on the M80s, giving it a sound a little honky, not sure if that is the right term, but that is what sounds to be...
Now if someone like to waste money and pay more to get the same sound and fool later yourself into beleiving that you have superior set of speakers, go ahead, I simply go for what my ears tell me...
See, now you are describing what most of us hear, although I am sure your M3s must sound different than the ones I have heard as they were not bright at all and the mid range/highs were depressed. As to your second comment I quoted, like you said you are going with what your ears hear, just as the rest of us are, I don't believe anyone is fooling themselves.

Trust me that I know a few that fool themselves everyday...Them ids of the M3ti were a little depressed as you say, but the highs were too live, specially in the upper registry.  Listening setup, uhhh, are you flying here??? I still have the 80 and 50's...

Not for me, but for you. Are you directly comparing them or just going by memory?

Shoot this selection is turning really ugly and hard for me....
On one side, I like the fun of the M50's, aslo even whith the fun factor, the M50 do not totally solve the problem for me in the mediocre recordigns...Now on the other hand I refuse to give the resolution of the M80s in the whole spectrum? Guys who said that this is easy???
HELP!!!!
Doing more A/B now, let's call a couple of other good ears for help!!!

Sov,
I would have suggested tone control like Jake. Maybe a high end equalizer. I know that audiophile level components usually don't have them (and in your case they are not being used), but you really have to look at what your complaint is.
You are trying to compensate for bad recordings, and your proposed solution is to choose a speaker which does not replicate what is input into it correctly to compensate for the bad recording. Wouldn't it be better to retain the monitors that are faithful to the recording, and adjust (via tone control) these deficiencies when required?
Just my opinion...

I did that for years, until my EQ died and then, no more decent equilizers in the market to choose from, unless from the PRO audio...so I changed my spekaer to a decent ones, I bingo no more need of EQ, till now....
Also most fo the time what is bad in a recording in the mix, not the EQ...
