The M2 is identical in every respect to the high frequency horn and 12” woofer section of the M1, except that, without the 18” woofer, it is a compact unit that generally does not block window views, paintings, etc. The sound quality, technology, finish, and performance are exactly the same as the M1 but the M2 can be called a “lifestyle” product due to its ability to disappear or integrate into a living room environment.

The M2 can be used as a full range speaker. Many people will be satisfied with its bass performance, without the M3 subwoofer. In this case, only stereo amplification is required, such as a pair of M5 Mono Reference Power Amplifiers. For those who seek to approach the deep bass power of the M1, an M3 subwoofer can be added to make a 2.1 system. In this case, it is recommended to use a pair of M5 amplifiers to drive the M2’s, and one M5 to drive the M3. The M5 amps for the M2’s are switched to HP (frequencies above 80Hz). The M5 for the M3 is switched to LP (frequencies below 80Hz). The M2 can also be powered by any high quality power amplifier due to its high efficiency and 8 Ohms nominal input impedance. For sonic perfection, the M5 is recommended. A pair of M2 speakers is a compact and elegant solution for most music lovers searching for the highest level of emotional involvement, beauty of design and finish, and quality of construction.

The M3 cabinet is the same height as the M2. It can be used as a stand for a large flat screen TV, with one M2 on either side. The M3 cabinet is massively constructed so the TV will not vibrate when the audio is playing, even with powerful deep bass. The M3 is identical to the bass section of the M1 in every respect – driver, air volume, quality of construction and finish – and therefore perfectly matches the M2.

Like the M2, the M3 generally does not block most window views, artwork on the walls, etc. The M2 and M3 are an ideal solution for music and home theatre supplications in highly designed rooms, where the M1 might be more obtrusive. The M1’s have the advantage of two 18” woofers, one per channel, but the disadvantage of taller size, higher cost, and the need for four M5 amplifiers instead of three.
