Sorry Grunt, i'm just an old fart 2 channel guy and have no clue what you mean about LFE. I "assume" this would mean i have to have a different amp, preamp..even cd player. Which to be honest, is not going to happen..but what is LFE?

Sorry, LFE is the “.1” in 5.1, 6.1 7.1. It stands for “Low Frequency Effects,” and is IMO great for movies, but doesn’t add much to music for me except for things like kettle drums or pipe organs. Neither of which list high on my musical preferences.

My M22/EP350 is crossed over at 80hz with M22 set to small. I notice a huge difference when I switch my EP350 on and off during music only playback.
Maybe with M80's there's not that much of a difference then.

A couple times I’ve turned my EP500 off at the subwoofer and forgot to turn it back on until I put in a movie I knew had certain LFE in it. Otherwise, the only way I can tell when the sub is off while playing music is that the bass from the M80s is “tighter” and “punchier” because of a low bass 20Hz hump in my room which limit’s the SPL I can use with the sub and not have it sound like crap unless I’m using EQ like now.

Thank you Grunt..now i understand...LOL
My setup as it is right now. Onkyo M-504 poweramp Jolida JD-100A cd player Adcom pre-amp I do have an old turntable, but i did not bother to hook it up at this point as most of my vinyl is so scratched, and so old, it's painful to listen to. That may change..
This is my setup as it stands, and probably not going to change. This is what will fire the M80's. For my 2 channel needs, this pretty much fills the bill.

bobt, I think you will like the M80's. This probably isn't the viewing distance chart you're talking about, but I love it anyway

Interesting that graph even shows 1440P, I thought the next level being considered was 2200P or something like that, as 1440 offers so little improvement visually over 1080 even on large screens.

Just a question about what comes with the M80's. I "thought" there were 2 sets of feet supplied. The rubber ones and carpet spikes. But i don't see that, and carpet spikes are not in the accessories part either. Do they no longer recomend spikes for these speakers?
Also depending on what pic's your looking at, some have bi-wire, setups, but the pic's on left side of the paige, show a single hookup. Is the bi-wire gone?

Both the extra feet and buy-wire are now options you can choose when using the Customize button to place your order.

I just sold a set of Swan 6.2s and plan to buy either another set of 60s or 80s, just not sure yet. I had the 6.2s for almost a year and personally, I have been very disappointed in them. The mids were good, the highs were OK but in my room, there just wasn't any bass. They did sound like they were beginning to strain at higher volumes but at volumes I couldn't listen to for very long.
I've had the 60s and my brother just bought a set of 60s. We both think they sound better than the Swans. All in all I am glad to be rid of them.
Now I need to figure out what to get-60s or 80s??
