it likes to throw you a curve ball. Last week I received my new M60 V4's replacing m3 V2 I bought a few years back, the bowl of cherries. When I hooked them up my power amp craped out on me, no left channel. Thus the curve ball. My power amp is an ADCOM 545 I have had for about 20 years so I see no reason to have it repaired. But neither am I in a position to replace it after buying the speakers, Christmas almost here and a couple kids in college. Anyways I ended up buying a Parasound 2125 V2. I would have liked to have ordered the Halo A23 or maybe the Axiom amp, but I just could not justify it with all the other expenses I have. I should have it Tues. and will finally get to listen to the new speakers.

Sounds like you have things in hand, but it sure it frustrating having new toy and not being able to play with it.
