Any Opera Consonance M15 owners out there?

I bought them and have them in my living room. Needless to say, I love them. Probably need a little time before fully elaborating on what I'm hearing. Will do it in a future post. Feel free to e-mail me.

I have a pair. They are simply fabulous. I am driving them with the Consonance Cyber 800's and a Droplet. To my ears - and I listened to a lot of systems before I bought these it would be difficult to beat this system at twice the price. Realistic, but not grainy. Great and tight bass - surprisingly so from the huge 15 inch woofer. Not fussy about placement. Definitely have a "horn sound" though - which may not be for everyone, and they will expose any and all flaws in the music. They do much better with tube amps.

Folks, I just picked up a pair of B&C M15's, listening through an Opera 2.0 sacd player, Sophia el-34 (25-28 wpc) coupled w/ Anaylis Plus Oval 9 speaker wire and Tara Lab interconnects. Question: looking to upgrade my amp (suggestions ?), I am searching for a tube/s that would give me the power to push those massive 15 inch woofers : ) (I need the bass) but would like to maintain soothing soundstage. while I know horns are for tubes I aslo like the power of solid state, any suggestions on a solid state mate? Any other suggestions on any part of the system would be greatly appreciated as I am new to all these wonderful listening experiences. Thanks guys!

As for the listening experience. Not sure how valid my opionion is, as I mentioned above it's all new to me. That said, I've never owned a pair of speakers so beautiful in my life and to my listening pleasure with what I have it sounds amazing the bass, mids & highs are all heaven to my ears. They are so efficient and well balanced that even in my basement room (40'x 22'x 5' {yup 5' ceiling height}) they sounds absolutley ridiculous, testiment to the build quality (Crossover, etc.). Not sure what else to say other than will re-post upon upgrading. Thanks again, hope this helps someone!
