Looking to replace Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference
Thanks Barry, you have a great setup... 
Is it too much to ask....
Mitch4t, your post says it well. Music and the love of music is the foundation for places like these forums. Music as an art form is beautiful, but some of the thoughts expressed here are just plain ugly. What a dichotomy! 
When speakers almost sound like the instruments
Yes Bondmanp, thanks, the Mirage OMD 28's do not respond to just any obvious choice in electronics. I found that out. I had to go through 3 amps to get there, but the right quality preamp seem to do the trick. 
need suggestion for which speaker matchs NAD M2
After my posts I saw the thread where you mentioned that your current speakers are Dynaudio. I did not realize this when I posted my suggestion about the Dynaudio 340. However, from what I could hear of the 340's in the Youtube video, you should s...

Correct way to burn in a new CD/SACD player
Manufacturers do put the important stuff in the manual. 11-29-12: Rok2idRok2kid, your statement does not apply to several of the audio manuals I've seen. Some manufacturers are, in my opinion, negligent in this regard and their manuals are much to... 
Made in America
I see that you're kind of new here. If you had been around longer or frequented any of the other audiophile forums, you'd know there are a core group of audiophiles that are passionate about "made in America" audio gear. They get very upset about ... 
Correct way to burn in a new CD/SACD player
Simply install the interconnects between the SA 11 and your preamp or integrated amp, turn on the SA 11, and play a CD set on "repeat." The amount of time you leave the CD playing on "repeat" is up for conjecture, some believe at least 100-200 hou... 
When speakers almost sound like the instruments
Viridian, anyone would agree that some speakers are more difficult and tricky to drive well than others The OMD 28's fall into that category. As I said, a "struggle." 
need suggestion for which speaker matchs NAD M2
In addition to PSB speakers, NAD also has a history of demoing with Dynaudio speakers which they did with the M3 years ago. Don't know your budget, but listening to this Youtube video has me completely salivating!!!! Talk about a clean sound funky... 
need suggestion for which speaker matchs NAD M2
No experience with the M2, (used to own the M3),but Loomisjohnson made a good point. Also you may want to research and call a few NAD dealers and get their take on speaker matches. And, do an internet search; see if you can find if the NAD M2 was ... 
what would you do?
After 1.5 years, not much you can do. Bringing it to their attention will fall on deaf ears. How do you know it's the wrong serial number? 
Is it too much to ask....
Wow! ditto, Mitch4t, amazing. No, it's not too much to ask Rlwainwright. Listing the power rating should be no big deal. (not the big deal that some of the posters are making) Sure the buyer needs to do their due diligence and learn what they don'... 
Adding Tone Controls?
Just so you know, the Behringer is not at all intuitive to use. There is quite a learning curve, contrary to what some make describe. For many I think that would be a deal-breaker. 
Are there any audiophile quality streaming options
Good information. Good points above about streaming from the internet. It does open up the ability to hear so much more music.
