Even with the excellent test equipment we have available these days, most of us do not have the test facilities that Harman and the other big boys have.
I have built my own system that I prefer over the M2, but I wouldn't pretend that it is a universally superior system. FWIW: It is also a more costly system than buying factory built M2s.
