Hi,
Please help select the right speakers for the long run for our upcoming purchase of cary sli-80. My wife and I listen to mostly female vocals;krall, jones, enjoy a full soundstage environment. Will be running with rega planet 2K with au24 ICs and Anti-cable speaker cables. Speakers will be place on the long wall of a 10x20 room.

Your suggestions/comments are appreciated.
Thx

Just demo the M22 with the dealer recommended pathos classic MK II, (hybrid intg.) sound wonderful, full soundstage, extended bass, just wondering if anyone else have experienced with this combo? open to other hybrid integ. amp suggestions as well.

Thanks,

I powered my Revel M20's with a Pathos Logos.Excellent combination.Pathos manufacture fine amps.
I would suggest to go for Merlin TSM-MM speakers with the Pathos Classic One Mk II.This will be a better combo compared to the Pathos/M22's.I would also suggest to go for some nice Siemens or Amperex NOS 6DJ8/6922/ECC88 tubes for the Classic Mk II.Very easy to do tube rolling on the Pathos amps,tubes are open ,so dont have to open up the unit,no biasing to be done.

Pathos Classic One Mk II and the Merlin TSM-MMs should be fantastic... !

"I liked the M20s but them the company was purchased by a bigger outfit and the plant in New England was closed with no warning to the employees. The production was moved who knows where..."

The production was moved to a better facitily in New England, Bedford MA to be exact. Just to be clear, the are not using offshore production, they are still a US-based firm.
