| Can a new amplifier affect speaker placement? Hey Foster, I think you were onto something, btw, with regard to current earlier. Perhaps the Creek's high current required me to place my fairly-sensitive speakers further into the room to reduce bass bloat than the M2? Dunno, but it's a theory! | |
| Can a new amplifier affect speaker placement? The M2 can indeed take an input from an external pre - well, at least according to the manual it can. It says: "FIXED: This setting should be selected when M2 is connected to the output of a preamplifier and is used primarily as a power amplifier.... | |
| Can a new amplifier affect speaker placement? Zd,That would be an interesting exercise - I could try the Creek as my pre and the M2 as my amp. The M2 is quite an unusual integrated though. It takes digital feeds directly from sources, and effectively amplifies them. That's not to say it's an ... | |

Bringing it down from the default 8 ohms (and my speakers are mostly an 8-ohm speaker) to 5 ohms (which the Paradigms run at in the higher... | |
| Can a new amplifier affect speaker placement? Wow - that's a lotta feedback. Thanks, all. Let me start by saying I prefer the M2 in nearly every way over the Creek. While I could still return it, I doubt that I will. The top-end and midrange are noticeably more spacious and detailed. The soun... | |
| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? Now that's funny. No way, no how. Check out The Audiophile's Wife sometime: http://www.theaudiophileswife.com/ | |
| Upgrade Path? Thanks folks. The amp seems to be where I'm leaning as well - I appreciate the confirmation. I'll take a hard look at the Hegel. I'm also considering the Channel Islands DP200 monoblocks, which I've heard and was impressed by (kinda reignited my u... |
