It delivered realatively good buttom when we compared them against tanoy reavesl-6s (don't remember the exact name) which were the only other thing we had in that shop. However the mids seemed to have that hollowness which somebody ( sorry don't remember the name) mentioned earlier in this thread. He 50s had a way smoother highs and tighter mids and perhaps were more successful in what they did deliver.
So that mid range argument maby relevant about small nearfilds.
Owning HS80m I gotta say that you have should tried +2 mid EQ and -2 high EQ dip switch setting on them. This seems to be a common agreement on HS80.
