Default M-400's In The House

After all the recent comments and reviews of the M-400's I decided to pull the trigger and swap out my original silver Momentum's for a pair of Black M-400's. They units were delivered today and I am just starting to give them a listen.

First question:

Do you like the black or the silver better?

Tough question. I thought I liked the silver better but the black looks so good good on the amps. I am sticking with silver on the pre and all my other gear.

Congrats Jim -- your amps are properly displayed -- and not hidden in a rack -- they are absolutely the most gorgeous looking amplifiers ever made IMO & what lies within is just brute force on tap.

Best Sir,

Bob
