Been lurking for a good while but this review prompted account creation, as I own some M16s and have been wondering what they might look like here. They can be had for notably less than retail and several reviews now, including Amir's, show that they offer great performance and visual appeal to those looking ng for this type of finish.
In a real-world use case I used (past tense since I've since upgraded to F35s and put the M16s on the desk) mine in a tight space where they have to be near walls and the focus on reflection quality makes a significant difference. Everyone may not agree on some of the Harman methodologies, such as the veracity of the double-blind testing, but the philosophy definitely shines through in speakers like these.
I also have JBL Studio 530s and found them of similar quality and soundstage in my tight space. Would be interesting to see those measured given their reputation among users and frequent value price.
