I purchased a pair of M2 powered speakers for a family member and he used them for 6 years or so. He upgraded his computer setup to a TV monitor with full Axiom surround package and gave them back to me. They have a self protect, so if abused you need to power cycle them to reset the amp.

6 years later I regifted them to my nephew at Christmas for his bedroom. The boys have a dance party everyday now and I think he will always have good speakers. Upgraded from Songe Bob radio. Can you spot the budding audiophile? Surviving fine with kid abuse. A-ok. Loves them and music!
