I guess the M5s really are good compared to the KEF LS50 I recently heard at my place. Oops! Am I supposed to say that on boards?

CurvedAir, wait till you hear your first real bass out of a pair of speakers. And then pristine mids and highs.
Take your time though. Nothing worse than connecting woofer outputs to tweeters and have to deal with the ensuing ignition.

I was listening to this at -30 and was averaging around 85dB at 10 feet away. Peaks were hitting around 94dB. Of course those may not be true peaks because my meter isn't professional grade.
She is in front and center just above tweeter level. When I say in front, I mean in front relative to a guitar to her right and a guitar further away to her left. All instrument positions are crystal clear but the recording venue appears to be boomy - enough to be annoying actually. The piano is off to her left and sounds "collapsed" rather than expansive. The best part of this recording is her voice.

It's quite possible that piano is angled into the soundstage but that's just me trying to put an image to sound.

1:21 if that's what a double bass is.
