Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Opinion Vintage Amp or New for New M5HP set up

Finally got my M5s! I also ordered a new Denon PMA 600NE as it’s reviewed really well. I excitedly set it all up last night anddddd was extremely underwhelmed. The sound was good but really not much of an upgrade over my M22ti’s that they were replacing. Thought maybe I need to break in and tweak the settings. Woke up this morning and thought I should swap back to the Nikko and just see how it sounds. HOLY CRAP! That’s what it was missing, that really brought them to life and they sound amazing and full and warm. I really like a warm pronounced low end (I’m a bass player) probably more than most folks, and boy that vintage tone delivers. Amazing, so happy I have the Nikko a shot, and I already own it! Haha. Anyway that’s the 2 day update/Review. Axiom delivers the goods as usual.
