A friend of mine has the M60's and we compared them to my Dali Ikon 6's when I bought them. The general consensus being the M60's had a little more bass and the Ikon's had better imaging and were a little more natural/real sounding in the mids and especially in the high's. For 2x the price though, the differences weren't earth shattering. This is totally subjective and your mileage may vary. I will say that, even in light of my comment on the price, I ended up with the Ikon's...so maybe that means something, maybe it doesn't. It was enough of a difference to me and both sets were within my budget at the time.
