The never ending battle m60 vs m70 which to get?
Hello there, new here.
So l have been searching around about the monitor 60 and 70 series 2 and almost everywhere the winer is the m70, I was about to pull the trigger but I was wondering if these speakers are worth the price of 250usd compared to the m60 170usd, and if I would be able to power them somewhat properly.
I would use them 70% music 30% movies, and in terms of power I just got a onkyo tx-sr393 that states
Rated Output Power (FTC) (North American)
With 8 ohm loads, both channels driven, from 20-20,000 Hz; rated 80 watts
per channel minimum RMS power, with no more than 0.08% total harmonic
distortion from 250 milliwatts to rated output.
Maximum Effective Output Power (North American)
155 W at 6 ohms, 1 kHz, 1 ch driven of 10% THD
Maximum Effective Output Power (IEC)
5 ch × 155 W at 6 ohms, 1 kHz, 1 ch driven of 10% THD
On the side note I am upgrading from a 5.1 rca rt2770 and already have a pair of monitor 40 that I would use as rears and a cs1 as center and a sony core sub that will be upgraded in the future, decided to go somewhat full polk setup.
Not an audiophile by any means but I like to enjoy my music the less compressed possible.
Now the never ending questions wich one should I get? m60 or m70 based on the receiver specs or any other suggestions, my budget is around 500usd for a pair, not really planing on getting an extra amp so the receiver will be doing all the leg work.
Thanks for taking the time reading any suggestion and answer is greatly appreciated.

Get the 60s if you’re not going to upgrade the receiver ever. They sound great and you’ll always have the option to add a sub.Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant
