I've had my M80HP's (with new tweeters - thanks, Brent!) for several days now and I'm very happy with them. Everything my V2's did, these do better. Lord knows I put those speakers through the rock n' roll wringer. Do speakers get tired? The HP's seem to do more with a little less power. They still need a sub to sound good in my large listening room but, strangely, my old Boston sub seems to sound better with them.

Anyway, I'm glad I did the trade-up and I highly recommend the HP's!

I concur with your findings. The new HP80 seem to do more with less strain.

My good friend came by to feel out the system again. We played quite a few songs in 2.0 channel and then again in 2.1 just to see how much difference she noticed from her first (hatred laden) visit.
She did notice the tighter bass in 2.0 but really liked it best with 2 of 4 subs. 4 works, 2 is better. Getting 4 to sound right has proven to be very difficult.
Until tonight I had not had my system up to -10 in the new room. She ended up listening at -7.5 and was happy (dancing in the dark) with the sound.
Funny she liked it and all I could notice was how the room needed some reflection control in front of the screen.
I need to bring them together too. 8' on center was too close (when listening at 15'), 9' on center is too far apart (when listening at 11').
I'm really enjoying the current setup. That said I will be moving them back 1', lowering them by 3 inches and will move them together to 8'6" on center this weekend.

You really shouldn't have to ask Mark's wife for anything. She lets him get away with murder, so I think she's probably cool with whatever you're up to.

Just once.

Ok, twice.

But you can't prove anything without the bodies.

Seriously, who resurrects a sig line? Tom, what did I tell you about JP's failing memory? See, here it is, happening live!

Hi, Everybody!

Bob, I am happy to change my spots again. I have fixed the sig line for the low price of $129.95!

Check out my reviews on Vitals.com!

His only review by a patient said, "As long as I don't get the duck tape wet, my bones don't rub against my inner organs at all." Excellent! Did you go to Duke together?
