LOL. I was only joking smile. But, one truly never knows when dealing with computer guru's.

I agree. I think it would be worthwhile to try a higher crossover point other than 80hz with the M2. I don't know if I would go as high as 120 though. As to the dynamic range and power handling of the M2 for home theatre, their capabilities are dependent/limited on room size and listening distance. They would be adequate to use in a small to medium sized room at reference levels powered by a receiver.

Could you be more specific as to the max SPL?

That would be variable based on your amplifier power and how loud you can take it.

I don't think home equipement is ever measured in max SPL. I'm guessing you're coming from an auto background.

Max SPL is only really limited by the power of the amp and the relationship to the room size and listening distances. I am quite certain the M2 can play as loud as most people can stand to listen to.

To add some clarity it only takes 1 Watt at 1 Meter away to achieve relatively loud levels with an anehoic spec of 87db.

It will play as loud as you would ever need for HT purposes.
