Mojo’s drum obsession never drew me in till the actives. It’s not the “music” it’s listening to the sound and placement. Sound wise I’m listening to each single hit and the fullness & richness of realism that’s created. Placement is more obvious especially in the Japanese (?) drumming which is presented across the whole stage.

Yup. Exactly, Rich. Listen to the images and black space in between created by the micro and macro dynamics.

Hmmm. The black spaces. Yes.


Enjoy the Music. Trust your ears. Laugh at Folks Who Claim to Know it All.

Rich, now you know why I like both the M2OW and the actives. The M2OW give me the same soundstage and images but those images are in lower acoustic resolution than the actives. This allows me to focus on the music rather than the details. I prefer them both. LOL!

Ditto with the M3 and M50. The M5 is a different animal.

Alright so I have two EP125 in cherry chestnut on order. These will, if they are good, replace my Yammie down-firing sub and my heavily-modified Sony that is over 20 years old.

Later this month, I'm going to buy more 500s and also 600s for the basement. I ultimately want a sub every foot around my 4200 cu ft listening area because Andrew said the more subs you have the better. Makes sense right? You get higher spatial resolution bass that way.

I'd bet that after 4 you're not gaining much for your space.
I'm pretty sure you're joking ... then again, now that I think about it ... I'm not that sure ... smile

Agreed more than 4 derives little benefit for symmetrical rooms. Mine needs 6 before it starts getting too silly - 2 front, two side and 2 back. After that, I need an AI to system-tune the bass. It's no slouch with just two 500s up front but there's no mistaking the depth and fill the 800 provides.

I thought you were going to go for the 600s Mojo. Or is it a smaller system for the 125s?
May be a mid bass module to flank your larger subs?

Some how I managed to snap the LFE input off my SVS PB1000 something fell behind took it clean off. Sadly they put so much hot snot on the board I can't figure out how to remove or replace yet. I've been using it as kind of an MBM since it doesn't play any where as low as my EP500.
