I would love to see a review & comparison of the Swan M300MKII to the M300, D1090, D300. The M300 Mk2 has improved power, a larger physical size, a changed tweeter (from cat-eye to ribbon), and is 3-way (opposed to 2-way). It's a big jump in price though at MSRP $800 or $900 compared to M300 Mk1 ($530), D1090 ($400), D300 ($300).

Zeos my man, congrats on your new home. It's beautiful. 👍

[@stewiegriffin993]

I've had them for months, tried them in every configuration possible - can confirm maxing out the bass and treble knobs "unlock" the speakers like in Zeos' M300 MkII review (go check it out there) - everything sounds better, nothing sounds too much, it's definitely not a "boost". Also the difference in analog vs digital input is perceptible, but very slightly so. I prefer to keep the signal chain to them digital (get the cheap SMSL PO100 and connect it to your laptop or something). The ONLY flaw is that the volume jumps are rather large so it gets annoying (and they really do sound much better loud) so sometimes I just connect them via XLR to my DAC and lower the signal on the DAC so I can crank the actual speakers. TL;DR HIGHEST PRAISE FOR SWAN
