Agreed on your points on M2s. EQ not required. Very well behaved and easy to enjoy without fuss. Andrew posted up a vid applicable to the M2s appeal here: https://youtu.be/dwUcGkBFpX8The holography you experience can possibly be explained by low distortion and lack of timing masking explained here: https://youtu.be/jnEGWFEGpmwThese vids may help others get or understand strategy for your results in their spaces.

If I had a 'need' for another set of speakers, or two sets, I'd buy M2's and M5's just to hear them.
I am quite happy with the M3 on-walls I have in my theater room, but they are surround speakers, and I have not heard them in a propper two channel set up as L/R mains.

Trevor,
Andrew's video on "punchiness" was interesting in that I never thought of it in that light before.
His videos on terms are good. It's too bad that audio examples can't be included because would require everyone to have systems that could reproduce them ... i.e. something halfway close to a perfect system.
The other video is interesting but too long for me to watch completely at the moment.

I really like his videos. I would love it if he got more technical…. From a selfish stance.

Active LFR1100s are still making me happy, certainly the nicest speakers I see myself owning for the foreseeable future. I simply can't afford to chase a higher ideal. Granted, they're part of a home theater system with M5s as the other channels and dual EP800s handling bass, so I don't know how much of the effect would be lost going to 2.0 stereo. I spent some time listening to music today, which I haven't been doing enough of, and they're just so articulate and powerful when called on, no muddiness at all. Finally watched my UHD Blu-ray of Dune the other day as well, and I think back to how much I had to slum it when starting down this HT path, first with hand-me-down Polks. The experience now is such a far cry from my initial setups. Thank you, Axiom.

As far as finding a higher ideal, I’m not that compelled to look further. For 2ch listening I can not imagine there is much improvement to be had. I think I’m done.
