Well after being so impressed with the M75’s that I bought last week I went and bought their big brother today , the M100 . I have to say that imo the M75’s sound better than the M100

 

and 1 hour later and some more volume, boy do these these m100’s rock ! The bass is like nothing I’ve ever heard . Fantastic
Glad you are pleased with them - they are brilliant speakers, I've been very happy with mine - like I said though I think they need something powerful to drive them. I've used loads of different amplifiers - my favourite B&O one was the BM6000, the BM4400 I found not as full. BM2200 doesn't have enough umps, BL Passive is very weak. Linn pre and power amp too neutral and just sounded like there was no life in it.  I thought I had settled on  a Quad 33/303 which was awesome but now I used a Valve amp with KT88's - that's the best I've heard them, it's a very full sound and there's enough power when you crank up the volume to drive them properly. The valve amp is only rated at 30 watts per channel but it's more than enough - in fact more powerful than a Yamaha WXA-50 which is supposedly an ICE Power class-d - the Yamaha was actually the worst amplifier I used with them,

Anyway, enjoy them as they really are superb and will really show what an amp can do.

Thanks again Andrew, I replied to you elsewhere!

I’ve got them hooked up to my Roksan K3 which I’ve found to be a superb amp with plenty of grunt too ( 130wpc )

I won’t be totally happy until I recap them myself.

cheers
My ancient S45s (sim S45.2) give outstanding performance with crystal clear trebles and deep base.
A BS8 gives great performance (almost as good as the S45’s and remarkable for the size) either via a mk2 iPad or streaming via Chromecast. Lack of stereo separation  is the only drawback of this speaker pair, but stereo seems to be out of fashion these days.

I still have a pair of Beovox 2600’s which were a great match for the 1200 Beomaster.

The Beovox speakers were often a bit on the big side, but can still match many active speakers without the use of a sub.

Hi there, that‘s a nice topic :-)

I had the first series of S45‘s + an old Beomaster 2400, and next to them their updated version S45-2 on stands with a beosystem 4500. I still love their sound, but in a bigger room now work the S75 together with a Beosystem 6500, which play my music in a brilliant way :-)

Next to this I like Beolab 7-2 + Beolab 6000 for a TV setup. I am astonished  by the quality of the 6000‘s

For a small radio setup I had a Century which is superb for music + speech, which I prefer against Beosystem2500/Ouverture + Beolab 2500. I would swap back but I need the Masterlink. Because the Beolab 2000 as a satellite is also perfect for radio (speech) to my ears :-)
