I could not resist, so I placed my order for one.

Any update on how this turned out for you?

tracking shows released from customs in ohio yesterday at 8 am but there is no movement shown since then.
scheduled for delivery today

Awesome - looking forward to hearing your thoughts when you've had a chance to listen.

Interested in hearing your thoughts after listening also.

it has a tight grip on the bass, fast, good tonality, has detail but not the hyper type. full body piano. dead quiet background. pinpoint imaging. highs are not harsh but flowing.
i'll write a mini review here as i am going to write a full review for alvin so he can post it on their web site.
the bass driver in my speakers is in a sealed enclosure and the bass is tight and powerful. kinki says 300 hours to burn in, if it gets any better i may be selling off a lot of equipment.
getting down with some buika.

Nice! What amp are you comparing it to?

 

[marvda1]

i'll be comparing it to:
unison research Nuovo hybrid integrated
mastersound compact 845 tube integrated
ayre 6-xe power amp/ deHavilland ultraverve 3 preamp

preview.

some kinki fun.

All I can say is that EX-M1 is STUPIDLY good. One of my friends who happens to be a journo got a loaner and this integrated is a monster.

 

[marvda1]

a lot of new people getting the amp at this thread.
