Since the M80's woofers are facing the opposite wall (another long wall), I’ll bet the low frequencies are bouncing. At this point I'm 100% sure that your problems are acoustic related.
Can you try moving the M80's to the short wall and have it firing toward the long part of your room? This way you will know that the M80's are not the problem. Keep in mind that this is just an experiment. I’m not trying to tell you that you have to upset the misses by rearranging the room.
Let us know if you do the experiment and what the results are.
Good luck!

I would love to move the speakers to the short wall but it would really mean moving around a heck of a lot of furniture plus components.Most important the missus would move me out of the house.No V-Max.

At this point you might want to give Axiom a call to see if they can offer any solutions. I'm out of ideas.

Called them and they gave me the same suggestions you did.Thats why I figure that my last resort is a paremetric equalizer.If that doesnt work I will,reluctently,have to sell the m80's.

I look at your situation as having an exotic sports car parked in a garage but not being able to drive it. You might be able to trade the M80's in if it's not too late. The M22's might be the answer here.

The M60s or M50s might cover it too, but the M22s+ a sub will be more versatile.

How far are the speakers from the side walls ? If they are pretty widely separated (ie close to the side walls) then moving them closer together might help a bit.
re: pulling them out from the wall further, is there any big piece of furniture between the speakers that you could sneak out another 6-12" without getting caught ? That would let you pull the M80s out into the room a bit further without anyone noticing
It wouldn't hurt to temporarily pull 'em out 3-4 feet from the wall just to see how they sound. Weekend afternoons are good for this...
I think the reason people are asking how long you have had the M80s is that it sounds like your room and placement constraints make M60s a better fit, and if you haven't had the M80s too long you could just exchange them.

I think this is a case where the 80s just won't work in the situation where you have to place them ( are you reading this Jack ).Being along the long wall I believe you are not allowing enough distance between the speaker and the listening position.Since the wife will not allow for placement on the short wall (which probably would work) maybe the only thing to do is to try a different model.The M22+ a sub sounds like a pretty good choice in this case.
