Well, I did it. The M3's have been ordered.

I was able to hear a Marantz Amp. It looked and sounded very nice. The problem is, they showed me how great music sounds in surround. I will use my present Onkyo for now, while I research which A/V Receiver would be best for me.

I decided I didn't want to wait on the M3's, I can enjoy them while I shop for a receiver.

Counting the days.
