Very nice! I agree with your your review of the M2, (although I have not heard a F6) it really does shine in the midrange.
Put pen to paper mate
Its good to compare my listening experience through the La Scala's
And your experience through your Jubillees

I should point out that I have journeyed quite a long way in my crossover build to find Nirvana
The combination of a seriously good amplifier, coupled to extremely good speakers, tuned the crossovers like a racing car - will give one the feeling of Utopia in a Zen like kind of way while enjoying your favoured genre of music
This is my crossover build journey if you care to read the thread -

Beautiful build. How does it sound?
My review of the M2
Using Harris/Vishay Transistors and Audio-note non magnetic resistors in R1,R2,R3,R4This review is judged against my previous amp builds - the F5 from memory and the F6
Components used in this test
Pre - Nakamichi CA5
Source - Cyrus CD8 SE
Medium - CD
Speakers - Klipsch La Scala ( Highly Modified )
Sensitivity min 104db
Album - Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon, and my brutal mixed track test CD
Warm up 1 hourThe F6 is super sharp and precise and does all things nice
In a word - Its very analytical and has excellent 3D presentation in high sensitivity speakers just like the F5 its very punchy but has more finesse than the more rugged F5 ampThe M2 is extremely precise, but with a presentation that has more reserved control with an emphasis on the instrument separation and vocal area
In playback, its not holding anything back but only gives whats required to get the job done
The M2 portrays the feeling and tempo of the music a little better, by emphasising a slightly more controlled and a warmer feel with a wider presentation
Still very sharp on changing passages but with a little more warmthTreble - is clean and clear with lots of hang time and controls the full spectrum until it trails off
Midrange - is where the M2 shines and it shines on vocals and softer instrumental passages
Bass - is still abundant but with A little less thump but has more controlTo compare the sharpness scale of the F6 and M2 Amps with an example
F6 = You have a cleaver and a piece of steak on a cutting board
You have the cleaver raised at head level and strike - it cuts immediately and cleanly
But you can't hit a precise spot to cutM2 = You have a sharp knife and a piece of steak on a cutting board
You have the knife placed exactly where you want it to cut - you push - it cuts immediately and cleanly but cuts in exactly the place you want it -- This is the M2FR

A quick update on my M2 build
It developed some hum issues and @wdecho helped me with earth schemes ect, and I thank him for his help
In the end it was the toroidal transformer causing the hum with stray RF - This unit was not a good match with this amp
A new Notatel brand custom made toroidal with a flux shielding band was fitted and the hum stopped quick as a flash
Now it's so quiet it's like a vacuum in space
Very giood match for the La Scala

I had a python snake wanting to make a meal of my Peach Face bird
I wasn't having any of that - I caught him and relocated him into bush a few miles away
Dont have much fear because this is snake number 5 in the last 2 years
