Being an audiophile since college/university days I'd known the M name for quite some time. I never had the opportunity to hear an M system for the longest time.

I heard my first M system and I was hooked. Of course it was a number of years before I actually owned my first piece of M kit -- and if I could work out a solution that didn't require me to own 14 loudspeakers I'd have DSP loudspeakers laugh

Of course if I hadn't gotten an exceptionally good deal on an 861v2 I would not own an 861. I'd be "making due with a G68 wink Yeah, that's really roughing it laugh
