    The tweeter model number is the the same as in the 4312SE and 4312E. Midrange and woofer are indeed different.

    The Beatles' version of "Twist and Shout" is the definitive version of that song, quite a bit better than the original.

    Cheap Trick's version of "Ain't That a Shame" is also better than the...

    True that. If you build the speaker with a passive crossover, even if you get every other detail 100% correct you won't have an M2. If you want M2 performance (or even close to it) you must go active...

    McCartney's "the worst bass player [Quincy Jones] had ever heard"?

    Just goes to show you that gold records don't work as an enema, because that guy's full of shit.

    My opinion only: Salon's sound like a very good speaker; M2s sound like music, with no speaker intervening. YMMV. At this level you need to audition any candidates for yourself.

    10,000 hours is 3 hours a day, every single day, for over 9 years. (At 24 hours a day non-stop it's more than one year.) So no, 10,000 hours of burn-in is NOT required.
