Small world! I'm from Copa, 10 mins away, running Motion 60XT's. I really need to do an intro thread too.

Hi Rob,
It is indeed, I have friends in Copa!!
Nice one with the 60XT's.
Couldn't stretch to that unfortunately.
Still very happy with the 40's

I couldn't either mate. Only that there was a dealer in Melbourne closing his shop, who had a pair to clear. Offered me a deal I couldn't refuse.

Welcome Besty. You will now enjoy your music, concerts and movies on a whole new level.

Hey Besty, what other gear are you running in your setup? Not a lot of Motion owners on here, would be good to get a better idea on what others are running.

Hi Rob,
I am running a Yamaha CDS1000 , and a Yamaha A-S1100 running the mains with a Yamaha RX-V3900 handling the multi channel stuff. Really impressed with these speakers. They just get better !!

I also have a Technics SL-1400 for vinyl. All sounds great !!

Cheers

Thanks. We are pretty happy with it.
So impressed with the 40s.

What is your system like?

 

[Rob09]

Mines super basic mate, have removed all multi channel gear to run 2.1 only, even for movies.

Have a dedicated music server (because I'm too lazy to change CD's) running Jriver, feeding into a Peachtree Audio iDAC.iTx.

Anthem Integrated 225 amplifier feeding the 60XT's.

And a stand alone B&W ASW-300 sub.

Simple, but seems to be competent with anything from a classical piece, to heavy metal.

Not sure on the 40, but I've been told that the ML recommended, 70hr burn in makes a huge difference, so hopefully they'll keep sounding better and better for you. I wouldn't even have 20hrs on mine yet and they have definitely changed a lot already.
