Thanks for info and invite. Did I say driven to the max? You must be referring only to those who say that. I listen at low to moderate levels, one reason I still have half decent hearing at my older age. Agree about HUG users group - take opinions there with the proverbial grain of salt. I used to live in Alpharetta. Kinda know Atlanta area (the traffic oh my god). Are you old enough to remember Alex Cooley's Electric Ballroom? Saw a few big acts there which was special because it was a smaller venue, more personal, different but not unlike the Greek Theater in LA. Only thing as much fun was seeing B-52's in Athens. The good old days, kinda. Save the Fox! Buying vinyl at Peaches in Buckhead? Yes sir re, did those things too. Atlanta's a very different beast these days. Lots and lots and lots of empty strip malls and office space. Resell houses on the cheap. Hope to get back one day and see a concert at Chastain Park.
My concern with moving up to the M40 from the SHL5 is bass integration with my room. My room is large so maybe it won't be a problem but my feeling is that the M40 can be boomy if not matched to the room acoustics or not set up correctly. With the, SHL5 setup is not a problem and I have a REL Strata III subwoofer that integrates seemlessly and I can control the amount of bass to my taste. With the M40, I probably could get rid of the sub but I would have less control over the bass. My room is about 22 ft W x 16 D and my ceiling is very high (>20ft). If I bought the M40, and kept the McIntosh MC275, I would probably buy another MC275 and use them as monoblocks (150w/Ch tube power). Tom, any thoughts on integrating the M40 into my room and also tube vs SS. Thanks
