JBL M2 speaker system ....

There is an art gallery in Sedona Arizona that has 2 jbl / levinson systems on display. They were out of my price range but looked beautiful.
The gallery is called Exposure. Apparently the owner or co owner is a dealer. You might call them and see what they have on display. Not a great setting for them to demo but looked absolutely beautiful in the gallery. They were priced as a system. Might not be what you were looking for but then again it might be.

Interesting. Do you know which models of JBL?

the JBL 7 series should sound similar to the M2 and way way way cheaper plus it got a passive crossover.

Just installed in my living room and the M2 are sublime.  Had to run new elec. circuit with true 20 amp capacity to feed the Crowns and had to install the amps remotely to avoid fan noise.  If you research these speakers in depth you will find they are currently the best available at any cost.

I am intrigued
