More drivers = more challenging to integrate into room / achieve holographic image bc of trying to “ time “ all drivers accurately? Or too many drivers in smaller space creating room nodes etc? Or both?

The simple question is, why would you choose that?.....an m60v4 be more linear than an m80v4?

Edit; What’s the definition of audio linearity? Less distortion? Maybe I’m confused by a terminology misunderstanding?

Look at the M2 vs. M3 amplitude/frequency response graph. Which is more linear? Which one do you think goes "boom" in my living room? See that little bump around 80Hz on the M2? It sounds so sweet in my living room.

Look at the M60 vs M80. Yeah, the M80's "got more bass" but which is more linear? Unless you need the higher SPL of the M80, the M60 is hands-down the better speaker.

Now look at M80 vs. M100. I can tell you right now which bass sounds better in a room.

Now LFR1100 vs. active LFR1100.

Those last curves, that's what I paid for. When I saw those curves, I knew I had to have it!
