I believe the M1 has three 100 W amps. I don't know if anything else was changed with this repair, just the main smoothing capacitors. Relays had been changed in 2010 and 2011.

M1 circuit

0-64 would explain the loudness and unpleasant feeling at over 60. I couldn't leave them at that for more than a second. Must be clipping.

The handbook says a dealer can select 0db (775mV) or -20db (77.5mV). I have been using the 600 ohm balanced line.

The 101b needs checking out and measuring levels. Perhaps the M1s need another expert technician's look as well.
