Probably your audición was a Bad one
M2 are not bass shy I hear them evry day
Just to change direction slightly , I wonder what will show up using the smaller D2 driver the 2415K. Currently it is only in the small VTX array.
Surely a no brainer for ' bookshelf' 2 way systems with a 12" bass driver
When I auditioned the M2, it was driven by a pair of Crowns which is supposed to have the correct EQ in them, which was why I went away rather disappointed.Yep. User Error.Probably your audición was a Bad one

Hi 4313B,
Does that mean that almost ANY speaker can be EQualized to cover say 30Hz to 16kHz +/- 3dB.
If that is 'the case', why to spend so much on JBL (M2, DD, K2, 44, 43....) speakers instead to buy
decent pieces, coming from China, Thailand or Vietnam ??
+ DSP driven network ( example MiniDSP) and proper amplifier/

It means there is nothing wrong with the M2...
Jonas seems to "get it". That guy who wiped everything (M2 settings) so he could start from scratch obviously did not...
That is why Pro made the M2 box as resonance free as possible.
I bet there are many folks who wonder about this.
1. Yes, virtually ANY speaker can be equalized to be flat +/- 3dB between 30Hz and 16KHz on axis. There will be power and max SPL restrictions with many, but the curve can be quite flat with careful and intelligent use of EQ.
2. Why then should someone buy a more expensive speaker? The simple answer is that any two speakers that are carefully equalized to have virtually identical on axis responses will still not sound the same. The system's distortion characteristics, dispersion pattern (off axis performance), transient response, and many, many other performance characteristics have just as significant impact on the subjective listening experience as the on axis frequency response.

"dispersion pattern (off axis performance)"
canot be corrected via EQ That simple
If you have the time Ivica, check this out. It explained a lot to me about off-axis response and measurements relative to listeners' experience using Harman equipment.

Hi Ed Zeppeli,
Thank You for the link.
If talking about the off-axis response, having in mind using cone drivers for the bass and mid-bass drivers, and horn 'loaded' compression drivers, their off-axis responses are mainly influenced with their dimensions and the horn-wall sides 'flare', but , from my experience drivers of the same size have different sound character, even they are "EQualized" applying home 'listening levels'.

~ 10 grams of mass added via aquaplas on the rear of the cone reducing Fs to ~ 28 Hz along with a modified edge treatment on the cloth surround. Well controlled and very consistent with very good performance.
It is the same D2430K as in the M2. The 476Mg is considerably more expensive, the system would never make the intended price point with the 476Mg.
