my m80s sound amazing with the amp built in to my denon 3808. Luc, are you saying that an external amp is a requirement for good sound?
under estimate the dedicated poweramp was my biggest mistake ever.
Anyone doubting that can just to at a local music shop and rent a Behringer/QSC/?? power amp. You can lease them for a w-end and it will change your life.
When I plugged an Ep2500 on the M22, I was blown away. The only word coming to my mind is: miracle.
If you put your volume at a whispering level, you probably wont need it. For normal and up, what a difference.
In my latest test, I hooked 4 QS8, 2 to the pioneer vsx-1018 and 2 to the amp. I've put a few songs and played with the volume knob to let her know what its like to hear two speakers coming from the receiver and when I add two more coming from the amp.
I wont talk about insanely loud volume level, even at extremely low volume she was hearing new notes and sounds.
Did the same test for the m22 and m80.
If you think its good, think again. They can sound a lot more different.
