I started off with 200 series, my 205�s went wrong twice, or was it: one went wrong twice � don�t know. My 207 lasted over 15 years. Sent it directly to M, but sadly they coundn�t fix it, never got charged � not even postage.

Never had a thing happened to my G61R or my HD631, my G06 needs to be turned off every three months or so. No big deal.

My speakers are fine, well not fine - they are excellent. I often play them at over 80, they seem to like it!

I have no problems with quality only the availability of parts. I am looking for a pair of DSP 6000 speakers. However, M have no more boards for upgrades. I believe it was a selling point when buying M products. if anyone bought 6K�s from new and wanted an upgrade now, they can�t have one. Now, if any boards fail regarding a pair of 6K�s what does one do. Buy a pair of 8K�s. M would like that. One could comment that they are old but M must have the schematics and if they wanted to make any they could.

One could ague that they are more complicated regarding hardware and software, but I find this incredulous, so is my car � my Focus RS is far more complicated than my old Escort RS Turbo and that was more complicated still than my MKI Mexico (wish I still had it), bear in mind my car is subjected to more heat in summer and cold in winter. I wonder has anyone tried putting M gear in the freezer then seeing if it works. M should after all aren�t M going to make car HIFI?
