Im going to try to get to the music store this week for a listen and if they've got the smaller ones I'll give them a whirl and let you know how they sound.

I was leaning toward the hs80m because I've gotten used to a monitor with a 8" woofer. Since I bounce back and forth between Tulsa and Oklahoma City all the time I've set up a second mix room in OKC. I've got an old set of EV Sentry 100a monitors running off a Crown D-75 amp and they really sound sweet, especially for a set of monitors that were built around '80-81 iirc.

Having 8" ported monitors in both rooms would probably make jumping back and forth a lot easier. I've got a set of Tannoy Reveals in the main studio and well.... they sound really pretty. Too pretty in fact, that's the problem. IMO they make things sound better than they really are. I like a monitor that comes closer to telling the truth no matter how ugly it is lol.
