They sound similar.

The M2s play best with subs whereas the M3s can play most music without, due to its lower reach. My M3s are corner located so can produce some decent bass.

My M2s/EP400s sound more impressive as a system than the M3s due to the subs contributing such a powerful low end. They can reach down to 17 Hz & are so 'musical'.

It is too bad that the 400 is not in the lineup anymore...

I've never liked the M3s. I am thinking either M2s or M5HPs for my living room. I'm a bit worried the M5HP might overload the space. I think you can still get the 400 if you really want it. It is very good!

In my room with the corner placement, the bass was reinforced unnaturally - it was muddy. Not really the speaker's fault as previous speakers there also exhibited the same behavior. I EQ'd some of the bass out of the sound with my amp but I still wasn't happy.

I made some plugs & stuffed them into the rear ports. The muddiness & excessive bass magically disappeared & I was able to EQ back to flat. All is well.

I used the M3s this weekend while decorating our Xmas tree. I put 5 Christmas CDs into the changer & played them for hours. Many were large orchestral works & choirs (TELARC), some New Age along with some Xmas Blues - the sound was most pleasing.

BTW - I must put in a plug for one of my blues buddies. If anyone is a blues fan, our superb local bluesman David Gogo (his real name & 2017 Maple Blues Guitarist of the Year) on Vancouver Island put out a Christmas album in 2012 that is really entertaining to listen to. Nice change from the ubiquitous Christmas stuff. Sample it here:

BTW - the Gogo family has operated a large Christmas Tree Farm just south of Nanaimo for decades. Check out the promotional video on his 'home web page' at the bottom & you can view him driving his vintage Mustang up to the farm...
