Calling out spatial audio m3 sapphire owners!

Hi I am living in Europe and are very interested in the M3’s

as I can’t return them and also have to pay 33% in import taxes I have to be pretty sure that this speaker is for me. 
First I have the Tekton Double Impacts and what I like about them is the big soundstage. Nearly all others speakers sounds small compared to them.  Big soundstage is very important for me. Also they are very sensitive around 96db in 4 ohm. I need a sensitive speakers because I have a 24w SET amp. 
I am searching for a speaker that doesn’t have the insane amount of bass my DIs have. Also there are some strange coloration somewhere in the midband. I can’t but my finger on it but it has staid there with different components.
I have a well treated room and the speakers are 1,5m out in the room. 
So are you happy wit the m3 and what inn your opinion are there strength and weaknesses?

HiI do not own the Sapphires but the M3 Triode Masters which I switched into my system yesterday. I typically use lower powered SET or PP tube amplifiers and am running them with the Luxman Sq 150n...10 watts.

My other speakers are custom Altec 601c and Altec model 14, horn speakers. All I can say is WOW....the Spatial have an amazing sound stage and I did not encounter any issues with mid-range or highs....it is truly a remarkable sound.Placement is key and having enough space for them...they do need 36"-50" from the wall, and are maybe not for near field listening, too son to really say .
I bought them without hearing them....was a good choice for my system.
