However, I am super happy with my M60s with sub.
I say go with what fits in your budget and never look back. The M80's are a "better" speaker by themselves, but many people would argue that the M60 fronts with a good sub (thus the low end being cross-overed out of the equation) and you would be hard pressed to hear a difference for movies. Like, totally ditto.
Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

The Budget will allow for M80's. But, don't really want to spend the extra $400+ if it is really un-neccessary .I know that word is spelled wrong. When I look at the graphs though, my point is along the Mid-range and highs both the 60's and 80's look very well the same. The only difference being that the 80's play louder in the ranges.

hmmm
what I should do is wait ..... get the m80's for my stereo ..... then order the M60s' do a side by side. and if there is no difference then I am good. If there is then I got to ship back and get the 80's. I will only lose $100 return shipping. if of course I go the floorstanding route for HT.

I have two sets of M60s. No regrets at all. One room is small enough that floor standers were probably overkill, but I stayed with them purely for psychological reasons.

If you are doing side by side comparison without a sub there WILL be a difference, if you are doing it with a sub, then i would bet there will not be a difference.. If you are doing it with a sub, i would be interested to hear what you think.

I moved from M80's to M60's in my HT. At first I really couldn't tell much difference, if any. Lately I have been plagued with a feeling, or possibly a notion of sorts that something is now missing. I'm not sure what it is, but the word "punch" comes to mind when I try to visualize it. I am not sure if it is that the 80's were Ti models and the 60's are V3's, or if it's more of a speaker model thing. I got a similar impression when I moved from a dual M22 and VP150 center arrangement to a single VP160. I thought it might just be Audyssey playing tricks on me, but this feeling of missing something remains when I turn Audyssey off as well.

From my side-by-each comparison day at Axiom I, like Jason, will say there is a slight advantage to the M80s in the mid range and trebble. It is subtle by noticeable.
I think your direct comparison is a good idea.

Furniture would be in my equation. If you are going to use stands, the I would just get the floor standers. If you were going to put bookshelf speakers on furniture or wall mounted then I would consider them.
M3 and M80
