I'm back home now comparing the M5s with my actives. No question the highs from the M5 are awesome but I hear details missing compared to the actives. They also appear at a slightly different point in space but that could be due to speaker positioning. The detail and image placement throughout the entire audible band is far better with the actives. Then there's that bass where there's absolutely no comparison with the M5 or M100.

Nevertheless, I am so absolutely happy for her. The M5s shine with the proper positioning in her room.
