It is all your fault. And Mike (mbovaird) is the most guilty of all of you. He has been talking about the M3 and how great they are for weeks ... Same for Rob (rvisinta). Everyone has their limits. I couldn't stand that talk anymore and ordered a pair ... I think you can officialy call me a victim, lol.

Seriously though, I've been in love with the sound from the first time I've heard them. But you guys pushed me over the edge.

I should have them in a couple of weeks.

It seems I made myself a nice Christmas present !

Now back to listening to my lovely S5 mk 2 ... they are the best speakers I've had - by far. So musical.

Congrats. Heard the M5 with MBL monos, basis work of art, and spectral pre in Milan. Boulder phono. Will you continue to use your MSB?

That's great, we will gladly take the blame. Congratulations! I have yet to hear the M3s set up correctly.

Yes, my audio budget is busted for months to come :)

That said, they are really great and VERY underrated. A true sleeper amps. I have recently had the highly regarded Vitus SM-011 monos ($50k retail) at home, and the difference wasn't really all that great ... maybe 5-10%. Needless to say, I have kept the msb and decided to upgrade the speakers instead. I will probably also send my Golden Gate to ?ukasz, to have the super clocks and the new 512k DSD engine fitted.

Curse this thread, and all Magico threads. Now I am thinking of a reverse mortgage. Enjoy.

Vivids are great as well ... I had the K-1s at home when I was waiting for my S5 mk 2 and liked them a lot !

You have a pair of G1's so you should never have to worry about another speaker upgrade the rest of your life!!
