Quick update:
Im starting to get mixed feelings about these speakers.
Sometimes they sound great and other times I get disgusted. Listened to cds Ive enjoyed for years now sound like ****. frown
The m100s are extremely sensitive to room placement and very bass heavy. I am using all of the port plugs btw. Back of speaker is 12-13" from back wall. I had to turn the bass down on my Denon 4308 from +2 to 0 or -1. Its hard for the m100s to integrate well with my dual svs sb13 ultras. I have the xovers sometimes on 40 or 60. Not using Audssey. A very very picky revealing speaker.
IMO
My room is 14'x 22'. Is my room too small for this speaker to perform to its potential?
Please help, guidance needed...
For what it is worth I auditioned some Paradigm studio 100s at home. Switching between m100s and studio 100s at first I thought the studio 100s sounded better but after listening for a couple of hours they are just not as clear and sometimes sound artificial not life-like. Studio 100s going back to dealer m100s hooked back up. M 100s clearer stronger speaker.
I need some help...Do these speakers need more break in? I know my thoughts are scattered.
Thanks everyone for their input/opinions
