Howdy comrades.
On the way home from work today I pulled the trigger on some Monitor Audio S8s in the Rosemah finish. Unfortunately they won't be here until sometime next week.
It should be very interesting to see how the M60s stack up against these much more expensive speakers. Aside from the S8s obvious advantage in the bass dep't (and aesthetic appeal) I think the M60s will do pretty well. Even if the M60s do get bested, they'll still be staying here with me. It appears they go for $600-650 on the used market - and I like them far more than that!
If you folks out here in soCal are interested in doing a demo session, let me know. It would be very cool to expand the listening session to include some M80s, as M80s in a high gloss finish will be my next purchase if the Monitor Audios don't blend well with the rest of my Axiom HT.
