JBL M2 Master Reference Monitor

[TitaniumTroy]

Flint or anybody else, have any thoughts on this speaker. It has a dual diaphragm tweeter, which I am not sure how that works. That comes with a funky looking wave guide, some smooth extended off and on axis frequency response spec's. A fancy speaker correction and room correction processing to top it off.

I wonder how it would sound in a home theatre system and for 2 channel music?

This article gets into the dual diaphragm design.

I find it very interesting. JBL has invested quite a bit of research resources in this sort of thing, and it is amazing to see real invention still happening in audio. They have the dual drive woofer motors as well. I would love to get my hands on a bunch of these stuff and see if the hard research is worth it.

I was made aware of this new system about 6 months ago and have seen documents, research papers, and commentary about it since. It is a serious system and should perform exceptionally well. Being a fully active system with extremely advanced DSP, it can sound like anything you want it to sound like within the limitations of the physical hardware. That means it can perform identically to the greatest large far field studio monitors in history as well as being as accurate as the best near field models. It is up to the installer.

These are not cheap and are designed for proper studio use.

Thanks Flint, interesting reading. Glad to see Harmon via JBL in this case, is trying to push the boundaries of speaker design.
