OP EFalardeau connoisseur Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 3,488 Likes: 9 Laval, Quebec, Canada	Well, I got very tempted at some point to use all the rebates to finally put my hands on a pair of mystical M5HPs! Added them to my cart. Sat on said hands quite a few times... only to free one hand to clear the shopping cart and try to get over the heartbreak... But then this morning I looked up and started musing... Hm... I don't have a xmas present yet in mind... Hm... Let's see... Hm... AND THEN I PULLED THE TRIGGER. Ordered a pair of Boston Cherry M5HP, but with the 21 days option. They will be replacing a pair of M22v2 as my computer speakers. This is going to be AWESOME. It is coupled with my 13-year old EP500. So it is already sounding pretty good. Can't wait... Wait... I just told them I CAN wait... Arrrggh! See Mojo's signature

A little over-kill to use M5HPs for computer speakers, don't you think? House of the Rising Sone Out in the mid or far field Dedicated mid-woofers are over-rated

I am so used to the magnetic ones that it took me a moment to understand why the grill was not coming out! And such ugly holes in the speakers! BTW, Mojo, I also intend to try the M5HP in my other setups just for fun to see them perform against the M100v4 and the M80v2! See Mojo's signature

Turned off the subwoofwer and got still pretty strong and deep bass. Finish also looks great. Now I just have to make a few adjustment to my desk so I can move them just a bit back. This weekend I will hopefully have time to move them around a bit so I can compare. See Mojo's signature

So after the M2, M3, M22 and now M5HP as computer speaker, I will wait a while and get LFR1100 active speakers as my next computer speakers. I might need higher ceilings though! See Mojo's signature

And boy, do they sing loud and clear. I am really happy to have pulled the trigger. Can't find them a single fault. I can't say how much of it is V2-V3 vs V4, but they are definitly the best pair of speaker I have in the house after the M100v4. Managed to compare them to the M80v2. I'm sure the M80v4 must be holding their own against the M5HP especially if you get them HP too. I am starting to consider that during 2021, I might do a version upgrades to HP and v4 versions all around, starting with the VP180. But regardless of the difference in V2/V4, the M5HP are truly amazing. They're not cheap, cheap, but considering they can last for so long, it is a great investment for someone who wants great audio while not being a financial priority. See Mojo's signature
