I REALLY like those. If they had a HF and LF trim switch I would be all over them at the pre-order price. I finally read the post about them. They do sound like a significant improvement over the previous iterations, and those are great preorder prices. I have no spending money to speak of right now, and when I do have some, I want to continue pumping it into my main system, but I would love to hear what they can do at a desk computer someday.

I have the AudioBytes and I think these new speakers would be far better. I "almost" traded up my AudioBytes but being in Aust as after playing around with the calculator;
- I'm not sure the cost of posting the AudioBytes back makes economic sence
- adding them to your cart everything changes to USD (at the wrong exchange rate). I'm not sure the trade up prog is designed for non US use
I run a ODAC anyway so would use this, but Q's regarding the inbuilt DAC:
- Is it an In-House design or XYZ brand?
- The specs on the DAC say max "16bit/48kHz" so no 24/96, but I "presume" it also does 16/44.1.
Thanks
Nathan

I really want to preorder these. Why are there no RCA inputs? Why is the onboard DAC limited to 16/48? Does this mean they are a bottleneck for high res audio? Please tell me I'm wrong on this.
My building pal is a computer audio nut and his desktop speakers could use an upgrade. These would make a perfect gift, but he already uses an audioengine DAC.
Edit: it seems there is a connector for minijack analog. These should work fine. Yes!

The presale is a really outstanding value - M3's cheaper than regular price, but including all the electronics. I don't need them, but still want to buy them!

How about Axiom InMotion. Maybe Axiom inMotion
Feels like emotion, but it represents digital bits that are in motion. Or the freedom of motion.

Matt, I don't think that will fit on the grilles.
Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.
