I think it's a two headed coin toss myself. Either way you win, and (sort of) lose.

You win because either choice is going to put a shit-eating grin on your face that won't come off until the day they shut your power off because you stopped going to work so that you could stay home and listen to your speakers until finally the bill never got paid and you get disconnected.

You lose because both speakers are so highly reguarded you wind up wondering what subtle differences the other speaker has. I have the 80's and it's killing me to hear a pair of 60's!

I think what Micah's trying to say, and I wish he'd get to the point ;\) , is you should cut two more large holes in the wall and make room for a pair of M60s AND M80s. \:o

Hi guys - progress report - and a picture:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/49538386@N03/4545730286/

the small vertically oriented cut is the m60 rough cut-out. The [img]http://www.flickr.com/photos/49538386@N03/4545730286/[/img] HUGE vertical cut is for wire re-routing!

in the end- it's going to be great though....

All wiring is re-routed and out of the way! Most of has even been reconnected - but my focus is now on to more important things, like building my boxes for the in-cabinets.

btw, I have these big bundles of romex running 90 degrees to both my speaker cables and HDMI cable - both of which come up from the floor. ~ is it worth while to try to sheild the "intersection" to potentially reduce interference?

I've never notice a problem, but as long as the wall is open...

I doubt if you'd have a shielding problem with those cables, but I'd certainly get that confirmed by pm'ing Alan, or perhaps one of the smart guys like John or Chris in case they don't see your question.

I would think as long as they are crossing at 90 degrees everything would be ok, but I am interested in others thoughts.
