Not me. I have the 850s, not the 750s. I've never heard the 750s. I don't find the difference between the 850s and M60s to be huge. But, from what I've heard the 750s are more laid back than the 850s which are a slightly more laid back than the M60s.

I can tell you that both companies provide quality products, and have fantastic customer service. So, it would come down to which sound you prefer

I think Spiffnme has the M60s and has heard the 750s. Hopefully he'll catch this thread.

I haven't heard the 750s, but the people in the know over at the Rocket forum, would probably tell you that they are somewhat more laid back than they 850s and the M60s. I don't know how much. I suspect they might be similar to the M50s, but I might be wrong. I know this is no help, at all. Sorry, dude!

Jinx, you need to stop over at the av123 forum and ask that question. Right off the top of my head, I can think of at least one 750 owner in the Detroit area (Stereodude?), and I suspect there are more. Just like the good people here, many members over there are willing to demo their speakers for you.

I see that you DID post a request over at av123. Be patient. On the weekends, things get sorta quiet around the forums, particularly during football season.
A friend of mine has the 750's. As has been mentioned, they are a very "laid back" speaker in comparison to the M60's. I think they are superior to the M60's for most 2 channel music, but the M60's are the better speaker for HT. If I can scrounge up the money I may purchase a pair at their sale price for 2 channel listening. Just my $.02.
I'm not sure if this helps or not but I have heard the 750's and then the 550MKII's and ended up going with the 550's.

I honestly they thought they were a better sounding speaker! (my ears)
Oh great......a sale. Well there goes another grand. No wonder I'm always broke.
