Thanks DanTana for your thoughts - I'm curious too about quadpolar speakers for DVD-A and CD's - and the M2's sound like a great speaker, especially if you combine them with a sub. Your right about the great price through the outlet, that's why I posted the question - because I was ready to order at least 2 M2's, even though I still have a little time to go before the room is ready! (I hate waiting!)
