Still feeling the need for a sub?

I absolutely love the M5OWs. I am new to using an AV receiver so it took a few weeks to get the speakers to the point where I am satisfied with the bass. At first when I was using them, I thought the bass was not noticeable at all and thought I would need a sub immediately. However, I found out the problem was that when I first set them up, the frequency cutoff on them was too high. When I did the AccuEQ on my receiver this past weekend, it setup the speakers at full range and what a difference it made now.

The bass they put out is surprising good and satisfying for both watching shows and listening to music. I don't see the need to get a sub so quickly now, but I will be getting one later this year at some point as I do like to have the air move when watching shows or movies. The M5s do create some pressure in the room at times at the lower frequencies though, so I cant really complain. If I had to make the choice again, I would go for the M5OWs in my space.

I like the M5s enough that I ended up purchasing the VP100 that was on the bstock. Hasn't shipped yet, but I am looking forward to receiving that.

One thing about getting good speakers is I never really noticed the poor quality of the sounds from music on YouTube until I started using these speakers. Sometimes I will listen to a song and I hear noise like the speaker is bad or distorting, but then I will pull up another rendition using the same tone and I find out its the quality of the stream on YouTube and not the speakers.

I would be interested to hear the difference between the bookshelf and OW versions, but the On walls sound great and look great too.

I did not know that prior to AccuEQ you had the cut-off set to a "high" frequency. In your small room, if you turn AccuEQ off and run them full range, you may get blown out of the room. I bet though, AccuEQ makes them more enjoyable.

BTW, I chuckled when you accelerated your VP100 purchase. Now when you and the missus are watching, you'll both be happy campers.

You'll have to run AccuEQ again.

I had no idea either that the speakers were setup that way when I did the initial setup the first time either. They still sounded great too with the way they were initially setup and had some bass to them.

I haven’t compared th M5 to its on-wall side by side but by memory, which doesn’t mean much, they sounded similar. Same with the M3 and M3ow.

The bookshelf can be made to image and soundstage better depending on placement. Their bass is fuller and less distorted. The OW though are no slouch.
