Well, I due to certain issues, I just ordered my M3's this past Friday morning, and received them today, which is Monday. How's that for service!
My fist impression - WOW. (Actually, that was my second impression. I forgot to turn of the 'loudness' switch, which my old speakers needed in order to perform, and my first impression was that the M3's were boomy. The M3's need no assistance whatsoever.)
Without getting into soundstaging, imaging, ... - the speakers are great - lots of very solid base for the mostly classical and jazz music I listen to, and lots of clear musical detail. All this in a setup which is far from ideal - mostly mp3 192k quality from my laptop which is now a giant ipod, hooked into an 'ok' 15 year old JVC receiver, with the speakers sitting on the floor.
Bottom line is that these are great stereo speakers for serious listening, even if they're not in a true audiophile environment.
