I just bought one and have had it foe a month now. I'm still amazed every time I sit down to listen at the incredible sound. I have owned a lot of seperates in the past and wanted to consolidate into an intigrated. This M3 sounds as good as the best seperates I've ever heard and much better than any amps I've owned (Adcom, Conrad Johnson, VTL, New York Audio Labs, Spectral, Krell). It is a bit flashy to look at, but at least it's not just a black box with knobs like a lot of the gear out there. If you have the opertunity to get one you will not regret it!
