I'm very familiar with actively amplified systems but am disappointed that there isn't a high power amplifier choice for the M2 that would serve the 1200W minimum requirement without fans. I've talked to 3 different JBL dealers and the (different) recommended amps are the CDi 4x1200, the DCi 4x1250 or the super powerful iTech 4x3500. There is a Levinson option through Synthesis but those are far lower power (531H @ 300W) and if you study the M2 the real holly grail of this speaker is to deliver tremendous (dare I say, life-like) dynamic range so that at a normal 85dB average listening level, you can still get 20-30dB of undistorted headroom for those peaks.

I'm hoping someone on the Forum has come up with a solution to this problem and is willing to share the idea.

TIA
