I own m2's and drive them with audiovalve challanger 180 monoblocks and jeff roland model 6 monoblocks.
My speakers have tordial transformer,impedance mod and copper diffusion ring.
I moved from Dunlavy sc3's to the m2's and have been extremely impressed with them.I have not experienced any reliablity problems or hard failures since I bought them used here on Audiogon over 2 yrs ago.I do not leave them on 24/7 but this is just my preference;it does take a little more than 1 hr to sound their best after powering up but the tube amps do as well.
I play music ranging from Diana Krull,Choir with organ,Eric Clapton and even Pink Floyd performs in my living room;all I can say is they play everything I can throw at them and it is extremely enjoyable.
When I switch to the Roland amps they play very close to the sound of the tubes but I find the tube sound to be a little bit more involving with the music but again probally just a personel preference;I could easily live with the Rolands alone if I had too without regret.
I have never heard a quad speaker so I can not compare the m2 to them;but if you can listen to a soundlab it should be heard.
