Any chances on getting a set of 703's in the mix? They are constantly compared to the M80's as well. I suspect that AV123 would also throw in some 750's, which would be pretty cool.
Edit: sorry, I only read the first page. I thought AV123 was supplying speakers, not using your own. - my bad...

Bigwill ... With over 200 songs having been used in the various tests, you STILL worry about Alannis Morrisette ?
For you, We will have a rousing round of Guy Lombardo ...

mdrew ... It COULD be interesting to get a pair of 750 Sigs here ... They are pretty close to the M-80's ... plus, with the listening test being blind, it will be fun having people differentiate between the "bright" M-80's, the "Laid back" 750's and the "sterile" Paradigms ... heh heh
As for B&W 703's ... Not a bad idea ... let me ponder it. And yes, I always buy the speakers being used ...

I seem to recall a fairly recent unscientific comparison between Axioms and Rockets in which each company chose the demo cd they would like to use. Axioms people chose a Mark Knopfler cd. Rocket man chose Alannis Morrisette (after hearing us discuss how bad that crap sounds on Axioms, no doubt).

Bigwill, As you know, I am not much for name calling when it comes to this stuff. THAT being said, any listening test which had each "side" bringing ONE disc for the test is not just unscientific, it is worthless.
We will allow a VERY wide range of music. We will have each speaker pair level matched. We will NOT let anyone SEE the speakers being played. And I don't give a rat's rear end WHO wins. You are invited, too ...

Big John ... The "rat's rear end" commment was meant to make you laugh. One of the reasons I always BUY the test samples ... it eleminates the "my speaker has to win" problem ... they are ALL my speakers.

Very Cool! I cant wait to hear the results.
To be honest with you I dont give a "Rats Rear" who wins either, and I'm not sure there will be an actual winner anyway.
Having heard almost all the speakers in your line-up, I believe they're ALL winners.
