Have these, have tried powered with a Rogue Cronus Magnum 2 and that was fabulous, then I tried a Odyssey Stratos SE. Wow. The tubes made the sound stage depth tangible and the midrange to die for, as would be expected with tubes and horns, the Odyssey gave it a level of smoothness that, for the money, takes my breath away. Note to buyers, keep it simple, big M3's = big room smaller M4's = smaller room. If going solid state make sure it has a high dampening factor. If going class D for sure try the amp before you buy. Although Spatial used to, and may still, show them with Red Dragon, other class D doesn't seem to match as well. In a perfect world I would go with Rogue stereo 100 and the corresponding RP5 pre amp. Alternatively, Get the best pre amp you can afford and mate it to an Odyssey solid state amp and I challenge you to produce better sound for the money

Anyone have these in S.E. MA or RI?
I'd like to hear them before committing funds and time for a factory audition.
Thanks.

I happen to own these speakers, am totally in love with the presentation they produce. Positioning for best results took time however, using a tape measure to move in one inch increments from the back AND side walls and toe in angle. It was quite easy to hear the difference for each adjustment. They do seem to love tubes,, a Rogue Cromagnus 2 was fabulous. However they are really best with an amp with high dampening. Currently have an Odyssey Audio Stratos that is the best yet of my experiences. I do feel that the highs are rolled off with the larger M3, the M4 works better in this regard with the compromise of slightly less bass response. Better imagining than the smaller/mid size Maggies with much better resolution so they are Maggie killers in that regard. Hearing a well recorded double bass thru these when well set up is one of audios real pleasures, at the same time you can shake your house with Pink Floyd's Great Gig in the Sky . For the money,, what a winner!!

As a recent owner of the M3 Turbo S I couldn't be happier. This speaker seems to do almost everything very well and has the additional pluses of being easy to drive, easy lightweight placement, and very attractive. As a Dunlavy owner for many years I would say the Dunlavy's micro detail is better, BUT, these speakers sound hands down better in every other way--a very live, incisive, and a very musical sound. From chamber music to jazz to large hall symphonic portrayals I am so impressed!
