My M3 are in production .. so hopefully they will be done in a week. Guess it is more the limitations of the paint booth. Picked up the Arcam AVC280. Figured it was smarter to get one from the dealer that has been fully tested and comes with a 90day warranty, over the AVC350 that is a few dolllars more but you get what you get. I can live with 20 less watts. Not like the M3 will likely perform any less with the slightly lower wattage.

Plan on running the speakers with (passive) bi-amping as the Arcam does actually have some decent power inside and can take advantage of extra rear amps going unused.

Mojo. I don’t feel M5 for me would have been worth it, and the cash went towards the amp and possibly a new set of stands.

Right now I have a real SH! Set of small Sony speakers hooked up just to test the amp to make sure it will actually play and has left/right working output. Then it’s waiting for Axiom sound goddesses to arrive.
