JBL M2 speaker system ....

Thank you very much.

The system can be had for $20K from major pro audio sites with Crown amps and built-in crossover. Harman dealers will have a package available with Mark Levinson amps and a different crossover for more money, possibly. I am still trying to figure out all the options.

I think these are meant to be used as a system with the dedicated crossover/amp. It looks like they can be purchased separately but I am not sure they work like standard speakers.

Thanks Kana,

I'm still trying to find a dealer to work with on the system and hear both versions.

Thank you Peter and David,

I'm still in research mode.

If I could use my own amplification for the speakers, I'd seriously consider these. I am not sure the Crown Audio amps would be "sweet enough" for my taste. I believe the Levinson amps would sound better, but possibly still not to my taste.

Thank you Peter but I don't think they even want to break up the package. Getting the DSP parameters will be difficult at best. I will try.

I think the key to these is finding a dealer to work with us. Before I go crazy, I need to hear them and decide for myself if it will be worth it to go further. I know I can hear them with the Crown amps locally.

I am in NY and found a dealer with the M2/Crown package on display. I plan on going for a listen if I can not find a JBL/Levinson dealer.

Thanks Dave,

I appreciate the link. I've reached out to some of those dealers. Let's see what happens.

Any more experience with these JBL M2's?

jgandy,

Congratulations!

Did you have dealer support for the install and crossover programming? From what I understand, there are setup "features" that the consumer does not have full access to, only the dealer. Can you make full corrections on your own?

Thank you.
