Grif – I feel confident in saying the predominant “difference” you are hearing between the M60’s and M80’s is related to the newer internal components of the M80s. I not saying I don’t believe you (or Jay), and I will buy off on Jay’s description of what he finds different, but Axiom has made significant changes in the past eight years. It is not a fair comparison when you put a Ti up against the latest V2.
Also, in regards to selling your M60’s, don’t give them away just yet. I’d hold off. I can not give details (so don’t bother asking), but will say that we can expect to see some very cool things from Axiom.

Mary, maybe Ian will have a M80's as a door prize and you could be the lucky winner.  My comparison was between 2007 M60v2's, 2007 M80v2's and my 2003 M22Ti's. Alan has remarked that the M22Ti does have a different sound than the v2's and I can attest to that with my own A/B comparison I did with a set of M22v2's and my own Ti's. The M22v2 and M60v2 I think have more in common now than the M80v2 while my M22ti's have more in common with the M80v2 as far as mids and highs/forwardness goes. The talk of the new tweeter has me very curious as to how all these speakers sound in relation to each other. I really wish I could make it out to Dwight in Spetember to hear them all first hand and meet all these fine people that are going, maybe if I sneek into Mel's suitcase, think he would notice?

Sonic the money is well spent imo going from the 60s to the 80s. But like everyone said, Michael said it could be different with v2 vs v2.
Michael I know what your talking the free VP180 for your 8 year old M60s. I just don't know if I can wait till pigs fly. In all seriousness I am just gonna hang on to them and see what all this 7.1 fuss is about.
I will tell you what made me very sad I tried ordering new grills my QS8s. The total came to over 150 for grills. If i can get new QS8s with out grills for 150 off that would be sweet

I think I already mentioned what is coming on another thread a few weeks back, which would give a person options for used equipment.
