Thought so but without a model number was wondering....still, I'd take the M2 without a problemIIRC the well-known M2 vs. Revel Salon2 shootout showed that the latter is better..

At that price I would have had them. Could always wrap them black.There was just a pair on tmr audio recently for about 8k. I thought about them but I wanted black. They do look impressive.
We are all randos here. Based on many variables, listening to all of them will be difficult and thats why I am reaching out to the Randos. But I am pickin up what you are throwin down. You make some great points.Kinda stoopid to spend $10,000 without listening to any of the awesome speakers mentioned above. It all comes down to listener preference. What are you going to tell your friends ? That some randos on an internet forum told you how to spend your money ?
This is falling into the audiophile trap that $10,000 speakers must sound twice as good as $5,000 speakers and 5X better tha $2,000 speakers. ASR if anything is proof that spending more does not always result in better sound. Speakers, being transducers, will all sound different.
I'd take the M2
the best all-round speaker I have ever heard
a set I've always wanted to hear
The JBL S4700 is a 3-way. Behind the top mini-horn is a 20 mm compression driver. That's why they're baby K2s - that's still a 15-inch woofer.two-ways 15"+compression driver
2 advantages are the fifteen in the large cab means they do bass without any sense of effort.Ha. I just came here to read. But there are quite a few supporters of regular usual plane two-ways 15"+compression driver)).
I know, but the difference from 2way is not catastrophic. This can be fixed by installing a d2430k driver)). I am familiar with a pair of 4429, modified in this way.The JBL S4700 is a 3-way.
Even if true, not sure why that relevant for a home situation? There's lots of things that are done in professional environments that are not applicable to the home.There is not one top tier studio that uses passive speakers anymore. They have either changed over to fully active speakers or have gone out of business. Something you might wanna think about.
I have seen the great reviews for active speakers. I have an existing sub and an amp. I don’t what that would look like incorporating active speakers into such a set up, especially for HT. I might go that route someday if I had a separate music only room.Who said that monkey coffins would come without subs - in fact one large sub is in play. It might need a family in such large room though.
Also the ask was to stay passive which I understand perfectly.
Actually nowadays the trend is to have more bass sources and rattle your boxes with low bass. If they can’t handle it then wrong boxes.
Point taken on studios, but their setups are completely different and always were than home setups. Even for such large rooms, 118dB 1 m rating from e.g. Arendal will bring maynhem even to such big room.
My final point is that room is really too big to be pressured completely in low end without extreme measures. If possible to cut it shorter, would actually work better with less resources.
What?)I have an existing sub
