I bought CM1 few years ago becouse i was impressed from the sound for such a small speaker, and use them as a rears for a while. After that i upgrade the rears with 805s to be match for my 803s/htm3s.... More then one year Cm1 was boxed ... Few weeks ago i decided to organize my work room (3m x 4,5m) and to make second setup for that room.. I used Cm1 and got original B&W stands (tigher bass when i put that). After few weeks of experimenting i got totaly emotive sound, even more emotive then my main setup based on B&W 803s. I got this with my McIntosh C2300 Preamp, Musical Fidelity V-DAC and Rotel RB-1080 as amp. For transport im using Pioneer DV-696 DVD Player..I have small problems with boomy bass but when i put the Cm's like 1M from the rear wall everything become very tight and clear.. Interesting RB-1070 dont sound good with Cm1, and RB-1080 is just right.. I tried different preamps like Rotel RC-1090 (good sound with RB-1080), RC-1550 (very bad ), and RA-1520 (very muddy sound and i was dissapointed).. Harman Kardon HK990, very clear sound, but a bit agressive and i realize that it's its a bit hard to listen long time.. And just for experiment i moved C2300 to this setup.. AWESOME..Another level.. Sound is so clear, so tight and very good imaging.. It's very emotive and envolving sound. Very close to the music.. U forgot about everything and just music is important.. This setup is more emotive then my main setup as i said before.. When i listen 803S sound is very good, but somehow more distant, more cold.. Anyway i found out that CM1 deserve good high class electronic and made me feeling so good while i listen..
