    CS2... and you should have a good setup then!


    Get rid of the sale stuff until you have enough posts to legitimately sell something here by the rules too. That doesn't usually go over so well.

    I hope so. The monitor 70's will be here tomorrow. The monitor 40's will be here thursday. The sub i have not ordered yet. But once i sell the RT800's, the PSW140 and the RM2600 and the rm2300's then i can buy the center channel and sub. I will remove those. Thanks for the heads up!

    Agree with cs2. My HT set up very close to yours. I just purchased the M70II to replace m60. I am very happy with the m70II.

    Yeah these M70II's are awesome. My m40II's got here today. Wont hook them up till this weekend or next. But im sure they are awesome. I thought the m70II's were going to be the same size as my RT800's. LOL.. BOY WAS I WRONG!

    From the specs they're only about 2 inches taller and maybe 4 inches of extra depth. Not exactly a huge difference?

    I guess the depth might be a problem for some. But even the weight is not that different...a few pounds at best.

    Enjoy.
