8 M2OWs on there way. Should be here May 6. Very excited!

The system will have a pair of LFR1100 Actives, VP180, 2 EP600s, Integra Research RFA 7 amp, Marantz 7025 2 channel amp, and of course, a pair of Axion ADA1500s. Should be pretty nice!

I will report!

Philip, you have to find a way to get yourself M2OW or M2 bookshelves as fronts. I am really curious about your opinion.

Hello Tex

You mean instead of the LFR1100 Actives?

Well...sure. Or in another room. I'm not suggesting you replace your actives with them. Just try them out.

If I was a betting man, I'd bet the M2s will give you a wider presentation than the actives in the room you currently have the actives in.

I'll them in 4 systems before installing them in the main HT system. Will report back!

HT with Marantz 8805
Replace the Dahlquist M905s driven by the mighty Yamaha M80
Replace the Klipsch Fortes driven by a mighty 8 watt per channel ASL MG SI 15DT
Replace the Harbeth 30.2s driven by the Line Magnetic 845 Premium.

BTW swapped the Full Music mesh plate 300bs with the pricey Emissions Labs 300b XLS. Only have a few hours on the EL300b XLSs, but the sound stage front to back seems better. Waiting to hear if the mids improve as well.

How are you going to try them out with all those systems? You bought on-walls.

I will tell you right now that off-the-wall on-walls sound like total shite. Been there done that and earned the dummy and a-hole of the year award when I told Ian to his ear that his M2 on-walls sucked. Then I mounted them on the wall and the rest is history.
