I tend to agree with lhulls. The M50s are quite detailed (as far as speakers go). Naturally, the 80s are more detailed (as we saw in our comparison), but in comparison to other speakers out there, they're detailed.

I think Tom may have hit on something, speaker toe-in. I would play with the speaker positioning to see if that helps.

Jay, Kcarile and Others,

It might be just my set-up, my hearing, or the receiver, but I found what seems to work for me. My bass and treble were set to neutral. i adjusted the treble down (about a quarter from neutral) and the speakers sound great! i have hardwood floors and little furniture and no rugs, so that might have been a factor.

i guess it shows that there are many variables (and potential solutions) that need to be considered.

hope this might help someone with a similar "problem".

thanks all

greg

My left knob is smaller than my right knob. It's a Denon.

My knobs don't light up.




Wait, are they supposed to?

Maybe your knobs are defective?

Yes indeed, a room such as that would certainly do things to a speakers sound. The room is the second most important part of the sound equation, the speakers being the first. Glad it's working out for you.

If you throw some unframed art, a beanbag, and an ugly old couch in the room you could turn the knob back to normal. Minor inconvenience to to get your knob straight.
