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.

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.
