Sounds like you had a good time Dave, and great that you can save on shipping the M60s. I've not heard the M60s before and remain curious as to how they compare to the 80s...feel free to enlighten my darkness if you wish. It would have been interesting to hear the Studios alongside the M80s, but I know it's often difficult to set these things up, dealers notwithstanding. Btw, those things you heard about Ken are almost completely mostly untrue.

Adrian, relating to the M60/M80 comparison, I'm reminded by Alan's thread on Mr. Marshall's recent M80 tests that his M60 test from about three years earlier was linked in the article and interesting comments made on the comparison. As far as I know this is the only source that has M60 response curves at various listening angles(the NRC didn't test the M60)and is valuable from that standpoint. If you didn't read that before, it might be of interest to you.

Dave, do yourself a favor and keep the 60 coming, you really won't know just how good the M80s are until you have A/B'd them to the 60's

All rooms are different, and you may prefer the 60's in your room.

Peter knows me too well.

It was great to meet you, Dave. Do stick around after you get the speakers, huh?

That's the article that made me curious to how the 60s/80s compare.

Or AT LEAST had his first cup of coffee! He did mention that BC (before coffee) he could sometimes be... Well I cannot say. What is said in Kens house, stays in Ken's house. And boy, Peter, that is a big plus for you!

I have to say the two of his four kitties that I met were very hospitable and friendly. They made me want to get a second cat so Emma would have moral support to stand her ground to our relatively new dog.

Ken, your cats are quite the gracious welcoming team. Give'em a treat for me. Thanks for the Davis tip, too.

I had just assumed 80's and 60's had been compared many times already. I will do a search for the 'M60/M80 comparison' thread. And Jay, I did not call in the cancellation yet. I figured it was possible you guys might have some good reasons to keep them coming. So if I hear that recommendation from any 'respected' posters besides hosers like you and Randy, I will take that under consideration.

(Oops, I just looked up 'hoser'. It said see idiot.
My only exposure to it was from 'Strange Brew'. So I mean it in that sense! ;o) Or as I sometimes say to a good friend after a somewhat strong ribbing: "I mean that in a loving, caring way!"

Well I just realized I best look up foreign slang terms before using. The other term they called each other was 'knob'. Def: vulgar slang for a penis. (hope that word does not get me booted!)

John,

I' love to read that M80, M60 comparison. I tried a couple of search variations (on Peter's engine too) and could not find it. Any rec. on search terms to try or a link?
Thanks
