Studio Electric M-5


Recently splurged on above speakers. Updated my virtual system page as I have made plenty of upgrades with virtually every component. Very satisfied with everything except a broken cartridge. 

The speakers are beautiful, heavy, and have amazing imaging and detail. Paired with the hybrid Modwright integrated and the synergy is special. Sort of a nice fencing rapier as opposed to a broadsword. 

Also Dave at Studio Electric could not have been easier to work with. Shipping perfection and great communication.

@jpwarren58 I visited the Studio Electric room at AXPONA yesterday. They are new to me.  They were demoing their M4 and M5 speakers.  I was very impressed with the M5 stand mount speakers.  They were clear, coherent, well balanced from top to bottom, and a joy to listen to.  I found myself relaxing into the music and that is the highest compliment I can give to any system.

As I have gotten more used to the M-5's it has reinforced my decision.  What amplification were they using at Axpona? Any other special rooms?

They were using all Benchmark electronics.  LA4 preamp and AHB2 mono's I believe.  The Ultra fidelis room #1234 with Vandersteen speakers and electronics was excellent.  One of my favorite rooms.
