What power and front end do you hook up first, Mike?

The Pass INT-60 was already hooked up, so that for now. Curious to hear them with the Diablo 300.

Never heard a box speaker sound less boxless than the M2. Total disappearing act. The magic of the monocoque design combined with seamless driver integration and an aluminum cabinet wrapped with carbon fiber? YES!

That picture just makes me smile. It's nice to be included in the group.

Mike do you use the Apods with the A3's?
 
Interesting design choice to make the M2s shorter than the S3 mk2. Would think people might want something a bit more imposing in that price range.

But the sound is what counts, and I think they are a killer.

Members of The S3Mk2’s club :scholar: we have to make a pact.
A: We are NOT getting the M2’s. No way they could sound better than our speakers.
B: We will NOT put all our speakers on the market at the same time!
C: We need to space them out with only 1 per sale at any time.
D: :fingers:We will let the folks that have the money to pay for them go first!
E: We will remind the M2 buyers our speakers are taller and less expensive. :mock:
F: Those who break this agreement will be :shooting:at sundown listening to Diana Krall, sipping some fine single malt whiskey after smoking a select leaf Cuban cigar.

Ok Ok who will be first! Odds are already being posted with the bookies.
:P
 
Larry, we are doing an install of a pair of Magico Q-Sub 15’s today, would you mind keeping an eye on the M2’s while we’re away? Just keep breaking them in. They are only at 80 hours now.
 
Kuoppis, one of the real innovations with the M2 (and M6) is that the interior volume is actually about 30% larger than a Magico that has aluminum casing due to the ability to make the speaker walls much thinner with much stronger thinner carbon fiber monocoque instead of the much thicker aluminum casing. This way the small speaker can sound much bigger than it looks from the outside but the interior volume being much larger than past designs to punch way above its weight class and appearance. This enables incredible bass for the external cabinet size, and more opportunities to fit better into the listening space as well as a narrower front baffle that helps the speaker to disappear as an apparent sound source. This likely will go over big in the Asian market where the spaces are smaller but where you can now fit a big speaker sound into a smaller listening room than possible in the past.

Excellent points. The M6 cabinet is the most inert I’ve ever seen. I was pounding on the side of it and it’s like a solid block of steel. When you close your eyes and listen, it does everything the best planar does from a soundstage perspective with more exact imaging.

I can't help but notice that Mike seems to be setting up quite a few dual Q-sub 15: business must be booming.
