yep - think you are right - its a balance and I shouldn't have listened to the Campaniles when my budget doesn't go there - but its fun and if you and the dealer are clear on this then it sort of sets the ground rules.Brian kindly let me have a listen at his house today - it was a bit brief due to flights etc, but the RM40 speakers performed, I thought, well beyond their price range. Unfortunatley his choice of layout across the short end of the room doesn't suit my normal (long end)listening (results in a lot of room sound mixed in), but the speakers played some very difficult music very well, and orchestral extremely well.
If I didn't already own the 801's I'd be keen. Being already an 801 owner, the change would have some positives and some negatives I feel so couldn't be justified in my case I'm afraid. One thing I learnt is that when speakers are well set up to suit YOU, hearing someone elses set up places those speakers at a disadvantage.
Good luck with your studies and career change!
