Spending other peoples' money is cool!

Speaking of which - just got my high 6 figure budget for my next production setup.

Uh, yeah, we need these M80s for, uh... near-field monitors. 10 of them.

I will second Mark's (Have you considered the factory outlet Axioms). I think they would be about $630 US. That is were I got my M50's from and I still cannot find any blemishes and I've had them for about 2 years.

Good luck in your search

Yes, I am considering the outlet M50tis.....I also heard good reviews on the Energy Connossieur series, and found this guy selling them for $700 on ebay:

wow, those almost have an industrial look to them.

by looking at the speaker arrangement, you would assume that they are comparible with the M60's?

If that's the C-7, then they would be comparible to the Axiom M222

I think.(?)

Axiom M222

there is no M222? unless you know something i dont?

the M22 is a bookshelf... definitely in a different class than the C-7.

i reckon it would be more like the M60's cause it has 1 tweeter, and 3 woofers.. although, one woofer on the M60's is smaller than the other two.

bigjohn

You are looking at $700 plus shipping.The b stock M60s are only $810.Not really much differance in price once shipping would be included.

From the Energy website,

Energy Speaker Systems warrants this product to the original retail purchaser against any failure resulting from original manufacturing defects in workmanship or materials. The warranty is in effect for a period of: Passive Speakers - five (5) years, Subwoofers - one (1) year from date of purchase from an authorized Energy Speakers dealer and is valid only if the original dated bill of sale is presented when service is required, by the original owner only.

Actually, and this is where it becomes fun,I was thinking of the M2 with one 5.25 mid woof.
the M22 with two 5.25s
and the non-existant M222 with three 5.25s
But you are right-the M222 would(if it existed)be a bookshelf, so...
Would a floorstander be an M...uh...
Oops..ok, it's not fun anymore!!!
Well, it was fun while it lasted!
Rich.

Darn it....everytime I think I am narrowing it down, something else pops up....ARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH.

anyway, how about these Infinty Primus?? I have the infinity IL10's now (bookshelfs) which I am upgrading from, so I know the sound more or less..I imagine the floor spekaers would be fuller, etc?
