Question/comments for anyone listening: So I got these M80's setup with a new VP180 and new QS8's along with my old QS4's. I really have been busy the last week so I haven't had a chance to sit down and drive these things that hard yet. I'm very happy overall (so far REALLY impressed with the VP180) but I am disappointed with the low end from the M80's. I guess with all the raving from other M80 owners about the bass from these speakers I was expecting more, much more. Granted I have yet to play them at very loud levels but so far they just don't seem too pronounced in that area. What I've tried: - I have them set to large on my AVR
- I've moved them around and pulled them back to about ~8 inches from the wall (which did help a tad bit)
- I put my ear up to each driver and I believe they are all working.
- I've swapped pos/neg to test for phase issues
- I've spent some time listening in surround as well as 2 channel
My M3's seem to have nearly as much low end as these M80's... at the moderate to low volume levels I've been playing with. I know it could be a case of just being used to a lot more bass because of my car stereo and the M80's being much more flat but it just seems like something is missing. Here is one look at how I have them setup here is another angle

What material have you been listening to on them to test for that sort of impact? Gunfire is always a good demo, and for that, it's hard to beat Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan. I can't say that I listened to movies much on the M3s before I took them in to work, but the M80s have never failed to impress me for gunfire.

I'm really just focusing on music right now. For movies I never not had my sub running along with the M3's.

Grrr, I think a lot of it has to do with my new room. I was walking around the speakers tonight and noticed when I'm standing up near the TV in between the M80's there is a lot more low end. As I walk back and sit down it diminishes a lot.

Ben, it really sounds like your room is the culprit for your diminished bass response. Do you have an SPL meter? Try charting some measurements if you have a test CD.
May be time to start experimenting with speaker placement and/or listening position, if possible.

I'm pretty sure those "doily looking things" ARE doilies.
