I own a pair of the first production run of M28's to come off of the line (Serial 10&11 if I'm not mistaken). As the first two responses to this post suggest, these amps are many levels beyond phenomenal. They have transcended every genre of music I throw at them with a musicality & ease that is unsurpassed in my listening experience. The dynamic range is incredible. I've had great exploration listening to a friends collection of electronica in DSD and other high res formats that he somehow collects from the underbelly of the internet which has some really intense subharmonic stuff going on with all sorts of voicings across the entire audible frequency grate just to throw everything in the kitchen sink at these amps mainly for sport as it's not my flavor otherwise. However, my most articulate recording of Saint Saens 3rd Organ Symphony is almost as goose bump inducing as hearing that piece live with Cameron Carpenter and the LA Phil at the Disney Hall earlier this year. The spacial elements of feeling like you are sitting in the middle of the tracking room when Harry Connick Jr. recorded a 'A nightingale sang in berkley square' is consistently my experience. These amps are exceptional top to bottom and I am very pleased with my purchase.I am running the M28's with the M1 and latest generation of passive ATC100 towers with Kimber select copper/silver hybrid.

I also had the chance to see/hear Cameron Carpenter earlier this year - almost the same program as at Disney Hall - play at Segerstrom in OC.
Just amazing performance.
Nothing in my opinion matches a live concert hall, so were the M28's the same - no - but PD close. Which is why I stayed for as long as I did.
"The dynamic range is incredible."
Absolutely agree. Without distortion.
Just checking.
argh, yes, thanks for the correction!
Well, if I had made the mistake, I would have said Carleton Carpenter.
could not resist.

Big ATCs and an amplifier that can clamp the woofer down without breaking into a sweat!
Thanks for posting.

Thanks all, and not to preclude others from chiming in.....
I heard the M1 and M28s for the first time this weekend at AXPONA. I had wandered in near the end of the show looking for a DAC and listened to both symphonic and chorale music. Someone else in the room had asked for the chorale and it was instructive hearing something that I would not have asked for. I was totally impressed and ended up there for the better part of an hour. Being the end of the show - interest can wane, or I just get fatigued (I was there all three days). But this was so good! Glad get some confirmation. They really sounded great. Thanks for the input.
