I have a pair of CDM1s and haven't looked back.  They are just about run in and the bass extension has improved noticeably over time.

Yes you need to combine it with a good quality amp and sound source.  I've teamed them up with an old Luxman Brig after trying many modern solid state amps.  If the budget stretches try a Classe amp.  With both these types of amps they speakers stand out with good, but not overbearing presences, excellent detail and a an obviously flat and extended range.
