Can you put some SPL numbers to that description? I listen to the tv MUCH louder than the Mrs., for instance.

Just keep your M2 set as small from your a/v reciever and tune your sub at desire volume. And you will be just fine.

My T2's are in a 19 X 38 X 8 room with another 12 X 20 room on the side. I just cranked up the little guys to 85 dB (at 4m) without a sub frown (WAF limited here)

They are more than loud enough, and no sibilance wink Clear and clean. A bit louder and they start to distort, but I'm feeding them the full spectrum. I can't find the remote to set them to small...

They are typically run at 70 dB or less, so perfect for background music. Not sure I'd use them for HT, but maybe in a smaller room and definitely with a sub.

The more I think about it, I did have them running in my HT when they first came in, just to give them a listen. They were a better match for the VP150 than my M80's and sounded pretty good with the EP500! My HT room is slightly bigger than the OP's room, so he should be good with M2's!!

As an update,I've returned the m2's for a set of m3's,hoping they'll give me a little more punch

M3's should give you more bass punch than the M2's if you compare the freq graphs of each.


Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

Definitely. I have trouble enjoying M2s on some kinds of music because of the missing bass but the same music on M3s sounds more "complete".

M2s with subwoofer, on the other hand, sound *great*. Never tried them with a small sub, just an SVS PC-Plus.

Are there any musicians out there? Do musical instruments like violins or guitars change with age? If they do could a speaker behave similarly?
