Yammie all the way. It’s so clear and precise. But needs more heft and tight bass.

I want yammie clarity but wall to wall stage. With tight bass that doesn’t muddle the image but can hit me in the chest when I want it too.

Short version, prefer the yammie.

Yeah...you need LFR1800s. Those are coming after the LFR1500s. You'll be a grandpa by then.

To get wall-to-wall soundstage in the meantime, you need more amp power. But then you might run out of speaker.

Hence the m100 research before the Black Friday sales.

I’m not waiting until I’m a grandpa!

I do recall you saying you had concerns or issues with making the m100 disappear. I’m worried about that too bc I like that effect. Guess I won’t know until I try.

I’m pretty keen to enjoy my large space and freedom of a detached home. It’s a new build so very well insulated. I’ve been testing how loud it sounds outside when it’s loud inside and it’s pretty well damped. So I’ve got the ability to really go for it and occasionally enjoy impactful music at high spl. Only have one neighbour on east side of house. Behind and to the side is green space. One neighbour across the road. I’m glad to have been patient and want to do it right the first time here.

Canes made his disappear. You've got a good chance too. M100s offer a ton of bass and maybe it won't be bloomy in your space. Work in some port plugs so you can experiment. They are very life-like sounding, very wide and deep stage with great imaging. Work in an amp too. Talk with Ian about the right amp for your space.

Good info and good advice. Thanks. Yeah I remember Canes thread vaguely. I’ll have to search it up and give it a read. Unless you’ve got it bookmarked?

My hope again is that the bass is enough ( when powered properly ) to avoid subs. Although down the road I wouldn’t be opposed to subs to further enhance or smoothen out. But the goal is to have a “simple “ 2 channel quality system that can disappear.

Back to original thought on tweeters….. maybe the best move is to just take my m60 to my brothers house and see if they do the same thing with the breakup, then we will know it’s the room for sure. I really want to help him improve his listening experience and quality. Its definitely possible.
