When you cross over a speaker to a sub, some bass still makes it through to the speaker. So if you listen very loud, IM distortion will still result from the bass. Of course it's not only bass that causes IM distortion. Mids will as well when pushed hard. v4 mids can take more than earlier versions.

Perhaps though, the tweeter is being pushed too hard. Pre-v4 tweeters can't take as much tweeting. Or, the receiver is distorting.

Thanks Mojo. My knowledge base is getting bigger!

BTW, the higher you cross the M2s, the more they can take. Of course there's going to be a point where sending too high a frequency to the sub no longer sounds satisfying.

As for multiple tweeters, even if they are completely identical in response, they will sound bad if not properly spaced on the cabinet and crossed over carefully. Just like two antennas whose radiation patterns will interfere unless those patterns are managed through phase and amplitude diversity of the source signal.

How loud are you listening to the M2 or M22s. They can get pretty loud in a typical room. Haven’t notice any distortion IM or otherwise. I do run the with a sub.

I normally keep it to low to medium volume and it sounds great. I dont have a professional sound meter to measure the SPL.

There are times that I want to feel the powerful symphony works but I guess that is a too much ask for small boxes.

In Telecom, there are many technologies to cancel the interference. I guess that there may be many similarities. Very interesting topic.

Rock, just curious how far away you're listening from.

About 8 feet

Geez, yeah...you like it LOUD! Active LFR1100s for you.
