C7ES3 vs M30.1

Posted by Paul Tobin on July 9, 2017 at 19:12:48:
I owned the C7ES3 for a couple of years before getting the M30.1 and I've had the latter for almost 5 years now.
While they are broadly similar in voicing, the m30.1 is a different level for refinement and rich inner detailing. Both are vey good with acoustic music but the extra $'s for the m30 is well worth it IMO.
Haven't heard the SHL5+ so can't comment on that model, but for symphonic music the extra extension may well be worth considering.
I'm using a sub with my m30.1's, so that gives me a lot of adjustment and deeper extension than the SHL5+.

The latest m30.2 looks gorgeous in the silver eucalyptus veneer:
