RE: Midrange makers are discovering that ...

I'm perfectly happy with the M22. I don't hear the ultra-high frequency harmonics (noise) that some people complain about. To me the M22 is about as clean as I've heard at any stereo shop. When I auditioned the amp I had the dealer put several combinations of preamp, amp, and speakers together so I could get a sense of the M22's "flavor". It's pretty plain; I could immediately hear differences in preamps and speakers that were combined but when compared to other power amps the M22 didn't reveal itself other than being able to cleanly drive a whole range of speakers, from big Maggie's to stand-mount Totem's. I'm now using it with a solid-state preamp in passive mode. I use a tube buffer stage to throw in a bit of bloom. :-)

I didn't care for the M12 preamp, though. Too clinical for my tastes.
