The M2's were spectacular, now I don't know how they were EQ'd, but easily one of the best speakers I've heard at any price. The bass was deep and punchy, the highs accurate, detailed but not harsh and bright.
The 1400's were set-up weird. Up on risers, but not spiked, hardwood floor, very non-damped environment. I was not able to cut them loose. But I did feel they were on the brighter side, and did not hear much bass at all. That said, the set-up was not good.
My 3900's - man, a lot to like. I wish they had punched lower in the bass, but they were fast, the highs were good BUT that speaker needed to be opened up (85+ db's) I felt to really open up.
Enter the 4367 - reviews are quite good, I know they are adjustable a bit via the front "eq"'s. But reviews are all over the place on the bass response.
Some reviews talk about a lot of bass, enough to kick you in the chest when a drum kit hits and that you have to be careful to not get TOO much bass. Other reviews talk about it being leaner than the 1400's...
I felt the M2's were awesome in the bass department, but I am not sure if the place I heard them had a custom EQ going. I'm hoping to demo the 4367's soon. But I make no bones about it. I like bass. Sure, I have a subwoofer, but honestly I prefer it if I can have a speaker that thumps on it's own. It's tough to tell in the reviews, because it's really all over the place. I know it's subjective, rooms matter etc. But generally, I don't have much of an issue listening to a speaker and knowing if it can thump or not. Thoughts?
