How about a to the K2s9900 as well?You seem very enthusiastic.
It soon comes an in house report from 4313B of the M2?
/Mostly
Yes they do, and they do the M2's a lot of justice! It's just that bloody fan noise that detracts from using them in a home environment. I like the silence between tracks, especially when listening to orchestral music.
I have to say I have never been so exited in all my adult years, this system is epic, and I haven't heard anyone comment on the headroom and shear SPL this system is capable of, I listened to the M2's at over 100 db, and they barely tickled the level meters on the Crown!!
And just a side note on the beryllium thing, it ain't that exotic, the automotive race industry has chewed this stuff up for years, just one valve seat in an alloy race head would yield enough beryllium to make a 100 beryllium diaphragms!, after hearing the 4365's with all the so called high end materials as used in the Arrays and K2s, they don't even seem in the same league as the D2 & waveguide combo. This new system is by fare the most revealing deal I have ever listened to, I'm just pissed I didn't know they were coming!
May be I am wrong but some easy calculations:
8/5000= 1.6 mOhm (pow-amp impedance)
cables
1m of wire 1mm2 has 16.8 mOhm/m
1m of wire 2mm2 has 8.4 mOhm/m so if using this wire You will have 5 (five) TIMES larger resistivity per ONE meter then pow-amp output impedance, or damping factor 5 times LESS, so using 5 m of this wire would reduce damping factor 25 times.
Not to mention that the drivers internal resistance is 3-to-6 ohms what would totally reduce damping factor to the value of SEVERAL but less the 10.

They aren't. The 4365 is targeted at a different market segment.
The "so called" high end materials are called that because they are. No one is blowing smoke up your rear end. It isn't a scam. JBL really did do the proper R&D to arrive at their conclusions. If you personally prefer the D2430K to the 476Mg or 476Be more power to you. I know a few guys that are completely convinced that compression driver technology went nowhere post LE175.
It's mighty impressive.
I laughed at that statement in that article stating that the M2 "had potential". Clueless much?
I would like to get BSS BLU dsp-settings for my 4365s! It would be very nice if JBL could provide it for them as well, as they do for the M2.
I think, maybe, the network in the 4365 is somewhat downgraded to not make it sound too close to s9900. It has diodes and stuff. I know Goophy is going active with his 4365s, with very big sound improvements, he says.
You are correct, My point was it ain't that exotic and there is a bunch of Be about, anyway I am just pointing out that the D2 for my mind seems to be a milestone for JBL, after all, it did revolutionize the Vertec system,
I'm just exited to be in position that in a short period of time I will be lucky enough to own a pair of the M2s! I am just undecided about the amplification side of it, I think I may go down the Hd5000 path, as in time I would like to get a third box for a theatre arrangement , That keeps everything the same, I can't imagine how good an M2 theatre setup would sound, especially adding a bank of 4645cs.
