That's what I thought, thanks.

I'm considerably less tortured though, the surround sound is awesome and finally puts the muscle of the A1400-8 to good use, the improvement over stereo of course opens up the sound field and makes the M80s that much more impressive! I'm a happy camper, onward and upward.

I am always amazed at just how much bass the M80s are capable of, they really are a great 2.0 speaker, which is how I presently have mine. The M22s from the Ninja tryout are still in the basement as part of the main HT and they may just stay down there till my wife says otherwise.

I like the M80's bass. Since I piled up boxes of paperback books in the corner causing me a lot of boomy bass, I am now able to run my M80s at 50hz xover and it added a lot of smoothness to the whole room's bass response.

Have you tried them full range in 2.0, it is very good.

Definitely try them 2.0 if you haven’t. I exclusively use mine 2.0 when using 2.0 sources. For multi-channel sources I’m using a 60Hz crossover and LFE+MAINS so the M80s are getting full range and the sub also gets everything below 60Hz.

It’s just that I can’t bring myself to turn my M80s into giant bookshelf speakers by crossing them over at 80Hz, just seems wrong so I kept moving the crossover lower and lower until there was no more lower to go. So I set them to large but still like the sub to help with the bottom end.

I did the same thing with my tower speakers, too, Dean. There was no cancellation effects so I kept them full range running with the sub.
