The M2's arrived and ick...... So far NO good. There's more body in the vocals for the M2's. But I dont get the same imaging. Close my eyes and point to where the voice is coming from. M1ti's are center. The M2's left side. About equal in bass. But the highs are really "shrilly". I don't know the word. Nails on chaulkboard. Hooked them up at and let them play soft on changer in other room and went to sleep. Woke up, turned up the volume while getting ready for work and was not pleased. Right now I prefer the sound of the M1ti's. The speakers are on stands 8 feet apart, 6 inches from back wall. No corners. Just a wall dividing kitchen and living room. Is there a break-in from where it sounds about "about average" overall and changes to "great" over time.
