I totally agree. My room is also 14x19x8 and there's plenty of bass. That's not to say that a subwoofer wouldn't fill in the regions below 25hz, but rarely do I listen to anything that low anyways. The tweeter is just astounding on the M3 and the 3x7 inches bass drivers gives my the right amount of bass slam and balance, plus, it's so fast that there's no prolong decay, it's just right! I only have about 70 hours on it, and continue to break them in. Here's my current system since I can't find a way to update my signature:

I would lie if I said I was blown away :)

This is a vintage budget stuff. The CD player was $350 back in 1992. The amp was more expensive, but still less than $1000 (it weights 25kg and is a dual mono design).

The Technics SU-V900 amp was actually my first real hi-fi component. I sold my Commodore Amiga computer to buy one back in 1991. This is how it all begun for me. I have sold it in 1994 and re-bought it just recently.
 
Adam - your room looks amazing. I absolutely love the M3's and if I was to ever change speakers at my house, it would 100% be the M3's. Trust me, I am seriously thinking of doing it. Also, I want to publicly congratulate you on building one of the most successful audio shows (the Audio show in Poland). It's considered now one of the top audio shows in the world. Well done my friend. :superbanana:
 
I haven't posted anything on this forum for several months. The reason? I've been too busy listening to the M3's. Over the months they have developed to the point I have no desire to upgrade anything in this system. Hard to believe but it's true. The combination of hardware I have plus the room voicing that Jim Smith did for me has created the perfect "small room" environment for two channel stereo. I just wish there were more music files available that were produced well enough to challenge the system. All in good time I guess.

As Thanksgiving approaches, I'm thankful to Mike for introducing me to the M3's, to the REL subs, to the Aurender W20 and most of all to Jim Smith. Thanks Mike.

Eric - that's wonderful to hear and having heard your system, I can understand why! The system synergy is wonderful and Jim's efforts really brought the system to the next level.
