Jason:

Let me assure you that my M2s, as good as they are, do not & can not 'tickle' my floor & couch in my listening area like the EP400 does. The EP400's crossover is set at 80 Hz & the volume is about half way on the dial. This often proves to be more than required on some recordings, but I put up with it, ha!! Most of the SACDs (the well mixed ones) that I run exclusively through this system are simply stunning in my setting.

A pair of M2s + EP400 (or two) make a marvelous audio only system with a small footprint. This combo easily reaches 85 DBs cleanly that I find is my own limit for loudness...
