I owned the M20s and was very satisified. The highs were just a tad (and I mean a tad)strong, if you will, but the speaker was a winner in the midrange down to about 40Hz if I remember correctly. The Revel stands are poor and do not lend themselves to bringing out the best in the M20. Monitor stands a a critical piece of the sonic puzzle when dealing with speakers of this ilk. The stand is a fundemental extension of the speaker and can make or break your sound. I used the Sistrum Platform sytem. Cost almost as much as my speakers, but was a very significant player in my speaker picture. The Revels moved on, but my stands remained for my Harmonic Precision Caravelles. Now there's a monitor to die for. Much more expensive than you want to spend? I think someone on the 'gon was selling a pair several weeks ago at a great price with the stands. good luck....warren :)
