Bricasti M15 or M25
 
Hello
Does anyone have experience with the M15 or M25? I am thinking about pairing one with my Bricasti M3 and Aerial 7T speakers.
Thank you.

No direct experience. I do know that Brian (the Bri in Bricasti) uses an M25 in his home as he feels he doesn’t need the extra power from the M28 monos. He says he has a small room.

I suspect all Bricasti amps use a similar topology so your choice is more a budgetary - room/cabinet size one.

In my 12.5 x 17 x 10 foot room, the M25 is a tremendous match with my M1 Limited Gold and YG Acoustic Carmels.

In talking with Brian, the M25 provides as close to having two M28's in one case as you can get.

In my opinion, the M25 is well worth the extra cost above the M15.

Hello, I decided to go with the M25. Hope to have it in the next week or two. Thank you.

Hello
Received my M25 on Tuesday and so far I am very impressed. This was a dealer's demo unit so basically broken in for me. They only thing I find unnatural in the presentation is the bass. It is a bit overwhelming. I had it along with my M3H connected to an Audience AR2P-T4 when first hooked up. Thinking the power supply in the M25 is of such high quality I removed the AR2P-T4 and the bass now seems a little more defined and less in my face.

Anyone else with a Bricasti amp using a power conditioner with it?

Thanks

My M28s are always direct to the wall.

If you don't mind me asking what brand of power cable are you using on the M28s? Thank you.

I use Shunyata Alpha NRs on them.

I should add that there are of course, lots of opinions on the use of power conditioners. My ears found my amps/system sounded better, more dynamic direct to the wall than through the PSAudio P10 I had.

I now only use a Shunyata Denali 6000/s v2 for my front end gear. It only helped the sound. Does not restrict dynamics and lowered the noise floor.

Mine is into a Nordost Qbase distribution unit. No conditioning. I have Waveform Fidelity power cords all around.

I’m using Nordost QB8 MKII plugged into the wall with Oyaide wire direct to the power panel. The QB8 and M28’s and for that matter M21 are all feed with Odin 2 power. Had V2 before much improved with O2.

Sounds of silence, the dealer in New Hampshire is using / Demoing the M25 with a SGS Zebrano Grounding device with great effect.

Hello
I have had the M25 for a month now and I am really enjoying. It is a nice upgrade over my Coda CSiB.
Thank you.

How are they connecting their grounding device to the M25?

I understand it to be on a spare RCA, on the negative part only. He also has it connected to the M 21 controller the same way, he is running balanced ,but you can connect xlr if using the RCA outputs. There is info on the what best forum under the heading ground-boxes.
