In the end, the format wars are decided by the people who DO spend a dime. Executives only really know after the fact, like the rest of us.

But that doesn't change the economics for someone on a budget. If you want a pair of M80s, are considering upgrading your surrounds to QS8s, are considering replacing an aging AVR, and are budget limited why in the world would an investment in a format that may be dead in six months make sense? Better, IMHO, to spend one's limited funds on things certain to bring enjoyment for years to come but of course YMMV.

I wasn't even paying attention to the rest of the thread. Ha ha. But still, I stand by my statement of executives being stupid.

But still, I stand by my statement of executives being stupid. Have I told you about the VP at a former employer who used to routinely lose his temper in client meetings and toss his laptop across various conference rooms? Or the newly-minted MBA who strolled into my office and said (I swear), "We don't have enough money for the entire computer system you requisitioned so you'll have to choose 2 of the following 3 pieces, you can have any two of: 1. the processors, 2. the memory, or 3. the hard drives." And don't even get me started on marketing or HR, it actually gets worse as you move away from management ....

1. Using the trade-up program I get the high-gloss cherry m80s, vp150 and qs8 for about $1400. I love the way the high gloss speakers look and I would like to take advantage of the free upgrade promotion. I was debating the same thing for sometime and I ended up just upgrading the same speakers to the HG finish and getting an extra set of QS8's. I truly love my M60's and love the way they look, I prefer the look of the driver arrangement and extra cabinet from the front. I've heard M80's and think they're great but I have absolutely no desire to change to them. The HG is so nice and I love seeing them when walking in to my room and from the couch.

It was that nicer wood look from the front that made me go for the M60s in the first place as everyone said the M22s, M60s, M80s sound similar, after hearing the M60s directly compared to the M22s, I had to get the M80s. The M60s are just a tad recessed compared to the M22's and M80's in the upper midrange and beyond.

Nitro,
I haven't followed this thread but I can tell you that no one, absolutely no one, should be without M80s. As long as you have the room for them in your space and can form an equilateral triangle between you and them (or close to it), you will be in audio Nirvana. while M0's are no doubt INCREDIBLE, especially in HG, your M60s are very good speakers. Take advantage of these and EXPAND you system to the next gen VID and AUDIO. Of course, this is only my opinion.
