Just out of curiosity, have you tried to toe them in a bit and create a little more air in the back on one side of the speaker?

One more thing. If you do have to go with an EQ, try and find a Yamaha. You will be happier with it then the one you are looking at. I still think if you tweak the placement, you can fix it without the EQ but who knows for sure. I'm also assuming that you don't have a loudness button on by chance do you? Are you running everything flat? ie no treble, no bass?

Everything on the reciever is set to flat.The Yamaha won't work because it's a graphic equalizer.Iv'e already tried one of those.A Audio Control Richter Scale Bass equalizer.The problem with them is that they affect to broad a frequency range.Thats why i'm intrested in the SAE paremetric equalizer which can adjust the bandwith that you want corrected,not only the frequency.Its about the only one that I can find on Ebay for home audio.All the others are for professional or car audio.

If you find a big enough graphic eq you should be able to smoothly blend the low freqs in. Audiocontrol bijou is also nice. I'm not sure how much they cost. My favorite eq of all time is SoundCraftsman. They can be found used and they are very good IMO.

I've tried using a Audio Contol Richter scale one third octave bass equalizer which is very highly rated,but again its a graphic equalizer and the improvement was minimal.If I remember correctly the old Stereo Review And High Fidelity magazines gave high marks to the SAE 800 for just such problems.However I can't find this information on the internet.SAE doesn't exist anymore and neither do Stereo Review & High Fidelity.By the way I have the m80's since June so theres no way I can return or exchange them .Whats about a vintage DBX 10/20 computerised equalizer with mike that supposedly equalizes automatically by using the mike and sweep tones? I've seen them on Ebay.The problem is they usually go for $500.I'm just about ready to throw in the towel which would really be a shame because otherwise these speakers are fantastic.
