Oh I wish I was a trust fund kid .....

Regular Yorkshire bloke who was music mad (playing in bands and working in studios) to save up for "gadgets". Had a Mission Cyrus One and Rotel CD player (and I think an Akai Tape Deck) - all from Richer sounds. Every thing I worked for and spent on was just music stuff.

One day was in Huddersfield HiFi of all places, and stumbled across some 2nd hand 18bit 5Ks and a 200 transport in a corner. Never heard of M before but was completely and utterly hooked. Wasn't a big fan of Rosewood (even then) but it didn't matter. The sound, the simplicity and the fact it was just two parts (speaker and transport) was amazing to me. I sold nearly everything I had and I'd saved to make what was a huge leap!

I only just changed them last year (Duncan took my beloved Rosewoods) and this year the C15 is now at the front. After 25 years of music I'm actually a bit deaf, and am sure if I kept pushing the boundaries I just could just upgrade one more thing. For me, the M offers me simplicity, fantastic sound (whether more fantastic is available I'll let you guys debate - quite possibly), and it has completely brought the emotion back to listening, just like 20 years ago. I get mesmerised, involved and sometimes even reduced to tears, all from listening,

I'm sure there's better stuff out there but for me the simple stereo set up just does it.

And anyway if I was a trust fund kid I'd have bought 6Ks and would now have 8Ks in my front room
