Heard about these Sonja XV being developed from YG founder at another show. Was happy to see/hear them in person. This was a very large room.

One of my favorite singers and great fit to this speaker/room:
Excellent. Large room. Very dynamic.

What you saying? That you can't afford it???
Let me check...
No problem!
What am I saying? I just cut-and-pasted some factual information, I didn't add any negatory commentary or roll-eyes emoticons.

JBL M2's looking like a bargain.
I've had that thought cross my mind.
I'd want to hear a pair first, I might not like them.

It might not like you either! Mutual consent is required....

That's just silly -- hearing is too easily swayed by confirmation bias.
You should buy them based on the specs and graphs, then convince yourself over time that you like them.

That worked for me. I bought, at considerable shipping and import tax, some Ascend Acoustics Sierra-2 and Horizon centre without hearing them, based on their display of measurements, the fact they had a ribbon tweeter and because of their small commercial footprint. I love them, and it only took a couple of weeks for them my brain to burn-in
