Kcarlile,
I have had M80V2s for about 4 yrs. Two channel, amp is a
NAD C372. Upgradeitis has struck. Wanted the emotiva xpa-2
but have read conflicting reports. Intrigued by the Axiom
A1400-2, discouraged by the price. Recently read a thread
started by audiosavant on this site. Knowledgeable fellow
considering M80V2s with a ridiculously low powered tube amp.
Got me to exploring what's up with tubes. The salespitch
is a "warm" sound field with better dynamics at lower volumes
than solid state. I have fond memories of smokey evenings
35 years ago enveloped by magical Mcintosh sounds. How much
of this is embellished memories versus reality is open to
question. Never the less I'd like my next upgrade to be my
last upgrade so I'm exploring all possibilites. I am ready to make
a major purchase and everything is in play. Time to go watch
Fringe with the Mrs. Anyone else think that scotch is just
bad bourbon?
Peace,
PB
