What Reviewers Are Saying
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 91/100
The available coverage portrays the M807 as an unapologetically large-scale, highly controlled loudspeaker, with particular emphasis on deep bass, coherent integration and a very explicit, airy top end. Its adjustable radiation modes are also intended to let owners tailor the balance of direct and diffuse energy to the room.
Bass
95/100
Ecoustics describes the dual 250 mm woofers as delivering subterranean low end without mud or bloat, combining substantial weight with a tight, clean presentation. The down-firing reflex arrangement is also said to reduce room-induced resonance and make the speaker more manageable than its scale might suggest.
Mid
90/100
The review highlights the crystal-membrane midrange drivers' low coloration and low distortion, alongside their ability to sustain high sound-pressure levels. It also reports seamless integration between the four driver sections, supporting a coherent tonal presentation through the crossover regions.
Treble
92/100
The JET 6c tweeter is described as exceptionally fast, clear and extended, with low distortion and strong transient definition. Ecoustics particularly emphasizes cymbal texture, crystalline clarity and a holographic sense of high-frequency detail.
Soundstage Imaging
89/100
The concentric VXe 6 midrange array around the JET 6c tweeter is presented as a major contributor to spatial coherence and more engaging soundstaging. The review also notes precise phase alignment, while the selectable radiation patterns should offer useful scope for adapting the presentation to a room.
Dynamics
89/100
The driver design is credited with higher dynamics and the ability to play at high SPL without strain. The available coverage suggests considerable headroom, though it gives fewer specific musical examples of microdynamic expression or large-scale dynamic contrasts.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
92/100
Ecoustics presents the M807 as an exceptionally substantial, precision-engineered loudspeaker, with sculpted high-gloss cabinetry, aluminum detailing and carefully shaped surfaces intended to control diffraction and dispersion. Its 62 kg enclosure, complex driver array and down-firing reflex system indicate serious physical execution, although the review does not address long-term durability.
Value for Money
85/100
At $45,000 per pair, the M807 sits firmly in the premium reference-speaker market, where its elaborate four-way architecture, large cabinet and distinctive engineering face formidable competition. The available review states the asking price but does not offer a clear verdict on whether the speaker represents especially strong or weak value against rivals.
