You're in Canadia, right? It should be totally driveable to go to the factory and listen. Maybe even every day!
Ken, when i get mine, i will post a video on youtube, so you can hear what they sound like....
On a serious note, depending on when i get mine (i may ask Axiom to hold them due to getting a job/moving) i will try to do a decent comparison between my 60's and the new speakers. That is if i feel like posting anymore, if i disappear... you'll know why, and that will be your answer
A few updates from the show . . . I interviewed James Tanner from Bryston this morning on Andrew's latest object of lust . . . just uploading the video to Youtube now - I'll link it as soon as it's done.
Meanwhile, Piero from Home Theater Hi Fi dropped by to check out the LFR1100s, and here's his report:
Need a picture of the LFR1100 next to an M80 for scale.
That Bryston thing is really neat. I use a Squeezebox for that (which works wonderfully), but I'm sure the Bryston has better audio quality. I think Salk is making something like that now, too. Gosh, our audio lives are getting more complicated all the time.
The M80 looks small compared to the LFR1100. It's really a beauty, I really like the way you can configure the grills. The fact that you have 3 pieces let you in control what area of the speaker that you want to showcase. The DSP module looks like the axiom amp, it's a visually appealing black box. I didn't musically compare the m80 and LFR1100 but it would be an interesting to do.
If you bought a pair, I can guarantee that you will like them.

Thanks for the updates, Amie!
Tom, you need both the BDP+BDA to play music...
BDP 2,100$. BDA 2,100$.
I have a good opinion of Bryston, but i think that is a bit rich for my blood right now...
