Peter is right, I've just got some MC120.2's (which are almost identical to the S120's) and they are much better I'm extremely pleased with them. The S80's are still an excellent speaker though but will do doubt need the bass drivers refoaming.
Nice that they have the floor stands too.
Chris.
EDIT :- Not sure of your location but someone is selling an absolutely mint pair of MC120.2's on ebay.uk right now which look like they have been refoamed, nice job too by the looks of things. PM me if you want the link.
The use of metaphors should be avoided like the plague. They're like a red rag to a bull to me.
