Nice to hear you are liking your 22s. Have you listen to the M80s? If not you owe to yourself to give them a listen. With a big a$$ amp of course.

I have not had the pleasure of listening to some M80s. M60s, M50s, yes.
Philippe, Naim is wonderful. I am also partial to Marantz.

The M22's probably need a more robust amp due to their near 2ohm dip in the FR.

Audio equipment used to look like audio equipment. Sony CA9ES CDP, Harman Kardon PM665 integrated amplifier. Looks good.

I agree, nice stuff, wish I still had some of my old equipment from the 70's-80's.

Who would have known, but I really like the "all white" finish on those M22's.

They are the egg shell white. I have a matching VP150. They've grown on me. I picked up the M22s and VP150 used for $400. Now that the M22s are singing I consider it a very good deal.
Since audio is a hobby (obsession?) I look for vintage flagship electronics and try to never pay more than $100 for them. So, the Sony CA9ES (MSRP $700) set me back $50 or $100. It's been a while. the Harman Kardon PM665 MSRP $700 cost me $125. (I over paid by $50, but wanted it).
They do look fine.

I auditioned this system for a good friend of mine with Bail Dua by Jala Jala, a beatifully recorded tour de force of Balinese choral, percussion, wood chime and bell music. He's buying a new home and wants an Axiom home theater room and an Axiom 2 channel room. I feel like I've done him a favor. So, again, these speakers are anything but thin, flat and lifeless. Rather the contary. They are vibrant, full, rich and terrific. [img:center] [/img]
