New to this and having a hard time gauging how warm & subdued sounds like. MS is warm & subdued, good for movies or music? or bright good for movies & warm good for music?

Just following this simple guide. Any speakers you find good with music to your ears are certainly good for movies. BUT speakers that are good in movies are NOT always good at music reproduction. So, go out & listen.

I would've been curious to have the M32i in a dedicated stereo setup with a decent 2-channel amp... alas something I can only imagine now...

Oh, imagine means an action plan is taking process. Mission speakers have been one of my fav too as I've bought Mission Cyrus Amp many years back. Yonggoh time to unleash your big collection of music recording in pure stereo system. You will be in cloud 9 for sure.... tongue.gif

Another useful post, many thanks.  My Marrantz 1501 is only entry level but it got good reviews but I do understand that its output is at the lower end with only 50W a channel and my Mordaunt Short speakers are lowish with I think 86 db.  Still not sure if changing the amp or changing the speakers will work.

Supposedly if your MS Alumni is Alumni 2 satellite, it is not so hard to drive by your 50W Marantz 1501. Although its impedance is 86dB, its power ratings is only between 15 - 80W.

Perhaps you should look at your AVR set-up once again. Ask somebody with experience to help with the tweaking. If you still feel not up your expectation, then consider upgrading your AVR first. I'm quite sure the MS Alumni are capable to do a better job.

You see you even choose this cool.gif and can't hide from music enjoyment. Like Junwei said, along our long journey of audio hobby, in the end we will come to Hifi. Nothing beats the enjoyment of 2 channel system rclxms.gif


Music is not to be denied.....
