TWINS!!!

As in Gorgeous twin black M80's!

Ordered them from factory outlet Thursday evening, had them Dinner time today ( tuesday) Now, if you don't live in NFLD, you can't appreciate just how fast that is because everything you get shipped here takes longer

Anyways, they came while I was home dinner time. Needless to say I was over an hour late getting back to work...ooops!

the boxes were beat up pretty bad. I only had about an hour to get them out of the boxes by myself....damn heavey.. And try a few songs but so far I am very impressed. Looks like they have the sound I'm looking for.

Now, my home theater isn't done yet, and I dont' have the reciever that these things are going on so I put them in a "temp" room with my old setup. Just swapped out my Cerwin Vega D-9's with these. I could not believe the amount of bass that these "little" 6.5" woofers had. Amazing. Granted, my Carver amp tends to make bass sound better on any speaker I've tried it with, but still I was very impressed

More testing to do later on, and I have to really look over the speakers, position them a bit better and so on but it looks like I'm going to be ordered the rest of the speakers as I am very happy so far!

great news newf, glad you like them so far. Look forward to hearing more from you in the near future...

Wow, congratulations. I certainly feel for your wife. 55 lbs twins. Ouch.

Congrats fellow M80 owner, I was also very impressed with the amount of bass produced by these awesome speakers. What do you have in mind as far as powering these babies up?

got a carver amp here now. This is all going down in the home theater I'm building downstairs. Nothing super fancy. 110" screen with Infocus projector. Of course now that I know I really like the Axiom sound, I'll get the vp150, and qs8's for surrounds. My HSU VTF-3 mkii , already ordered, and should be here by Monday After hearing the m80's though, I'm not sure I needed to get such a big sub. I would like to "feel" the bass a little more, so that sub should do that.

Thinking of going with a Denon 3805. Although I have not heard it yet. I like the sound of my carvers now, so I hope it doesn't change to much. I do like a bright, clear sound with good bass.

I'm still "breaking in" the speakers...if there is such a thing. I've tried everything I can throw at them so far. Rap-Rock-techno-country-top 40, I am really happy so far. Besides, the speakers are just gorgeous in Sexy Black. Really wanted the light wood finish but thought it would be a nightmare to get everything to match.

I had intended to keep my vega's up stairs for music purposes. Now, after hearing the 80's, I am thinking of getting a set of 60's for upstairs. How much difference is the bass between the 60's and 80's?. Wondering if I need a sub with the 60's.


anyways, I need to get back to playing with my new babies! I love em!

Post some pictures! Oh yeah, post some pictures of the boxes too - I want to see what happened to them

Nefl, once you are accustomed to the 80s and their bass I'd say you'll more than likely want a sub with the 60s. But that's only my opinion and you'll have to take a listen for yourself.

Congrats on you new babies.It looks like our numbers are growing .

wait till I start showing these things around to others....

I showed to a friend tonight who's in from Ontario. He's ordering a set when gets back.


How do I post pics here? img tags?

Well if you guys would add more 80s, that would increase the numbers ! lol

Congrats on the 80s, they are great speakers in my opinion.
