Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo m2 vs m3

I should probably mention that there seem to be a lot of people running M2s with a sub very happily (including me) while I don't know many running M3 with sub... so my comments about being able to play more loudly with M3s than M2s are guesses based on driver size / efficiency / power handling more than "known from experience".

I ended up moving from M2+sub to M60 without sub for a while because I wanted to sometimes turn up the volume to a level where the M2s were uncomfortable (in my case it was Heart's "Mistral Wind" that the M2+sub couldn't handle cranked up to 11). M60s handled the content & volume just fine, of course.

I don't expect that M3 + sub would have performed the same way, for what it's worth.
