Has anyone heard FM Acoustics

I have owned and used various products from FM Acoustics for about 6 years running and am very happy to report that they are among the best in hi-fi if price is not a factor.

As my hearing matures and got tired of playing around with equipments (28yrs--made many costly mistakes along the way), I came to realize that the FM 611 is definitely a keeper! Have been serving my home 15yrs of hassle-free musical bliss now..

Would love to hear and share with other FM owners their findings. Also from anyone who had experiences with their latest offerings (FM 115 and FM 1811)? Hearsay even more 'refined' than previous line-ups ie. 411mkII, 611x and 811mkII.

Yeah, they're subliminal, but really overpriced ... I'm told you can get pretty much close results with Spectral Audio, for much less money ...

17yrs from their first introduction (in '91 if I'm not mistaken), Resolution Series were the benchmark for many designers to aspire to. Having learnt a trick or two, yes I heard few 'makes' managed to come up with really great sounding products too.

But problem is, as others were just about approaching this (almost) two decades old design's performance, FM Acoustics again took off with yet other breakthroughs in their 1811 (amp) & 268 (pre).

As I'm thinking of an upgrade, and this is a substantial outlay, would really appreciate if someone who had a 'genuine' first hand experience with the above products to share their thoughts. Just as I've been faithful enough to live with the 611 for more than 15yrs, this next amp purchase might also well be my last..

Replying to Bvdiman's 10-31-08 post: I have had the opportunity to listen to the a pair of 1811s driving the Genesis 1.1 loudspeaker system and must say it is really good. After having in my system FM 255 pre and 811 power combo for the good part of 07 years I can only testify that Fms are the ultimate in it's class. The "Rolls Royce" of hi-fi , period.
