You know all those ancient bands old codgers like me grew up with? Like AC/DC, Twisted Sister, Iron Maiden? The ones with sound engineers who must have been stoned out of their drunken minds when they were supposed to be sound engineering?If you listen to those on ALFRs, you'll want to pour gasoline in your ears and ignite it. But on the M50...well...you can just zone out, man! The harshness from those bands flows into the binding posts, gets mashed up by the cross-over and is presented to your ears-brain in a velvety texture by the somewhat confused twin 6.5" drivers that are having to play low and yet also high. The tweeter takes it all in stride as it distances itself from the madness just below 3KHz.

There is no other way to serve up those bands. I'm glad the M50 can act as our ears-brain interface to them.
