Hi Cyni-al
With a sub everithing is diferent... I have a BK 200 that some times i turn it on to play some modern music to my kids, they always drop their jaw...
I love to se their faces thinking, i have a cool dad... :dance:
regardering the Brio R it is a very good amp, it has detail and finness that you only find in amps abouve is price. But if you are going to buy just wait a litle more they are about to launch in the market a new Elicit, check it out. It has all the good things the brio has but more 50w under the hood , i'll bet your's CM8 will apreciate the extra power! Yes it will cost £1600...
