Calling out spatial audio m3 sapphire owners!

If you go over to Audio Circle you will quickly learn that these speakers take 500 hours before you really know what they will sound like… so any review right out of the box is meaningless. 
 

I spent 6 hours over 2 days listening to them through a Lyngdorf set up both digital and analog. The speakers had 500 hours on them. Under 85 db they were the most alive speaker I’ve ever heard in someone’s home. Above 85db the were a little bright on some recordings… and it might have been the room. 15’x18’x10’ vaulted ceilings. No treatments… speakers 42” out 7’ apart and 7’ from listening position. 
 

if you want to rock out to Metal loud… maybe not… otherwise, these are very impressive. Most speakers sound like great high fi… these actual do sound like real music. 

I don’t think it’s the “tweeters” in the X or the M series that are the long break in culprets ( probably less than 100 hours for them).  Its getting those pro audio woofers loosened up. But when it happens and everything is singing together it’s pretty special.
