Too bad they are not priced for standard rich audiophile. I feel like owning a 911 Turbo but dreaming

I can’t even upgrade Q7.1 to Q7.2 status haha.
But hey I am sure those honeycomb drivers will appeared
In M7 or M8 one day, which will still be unaffordable to most as usual.

M9 is a direct WAMM competitor. I don't think the Q-subs would work too well because at what frequency would you roll off those actively powered massive 15" subwoofers? I don't think it feasible to assemble this speaker after it left the factory.
None of this is a particular problem. M9 is as much a competitor to a speaker like the Tidal la assoluta or the Burmester BC350 as to the WAMM. Both are not compatible with subs.
Look at the M9 base. This is a beautiful speaker. It's a little idiosyncratic with the binding posts but the weight is not unreasonable nor is the price for what you get: the complete package in a relatively small footprint (no external subs).
Looks like he's leaving room for an M8 at some point.
