Hey,Martin-greetings from NYC! I,too,have been checking out those beauties from Spatial and wondering "Could I?" and more importantly "Should I?". For me the answer may be "heck no!",as the consensus seems to be that more space is required than what I can allow them. I promised myself never to become one of "those guys" who sits 4 feet in front of a speaker and calls it "near-field listening",instead of what it really is:TOO DAMN CLOSE! By the way, since you live in Denmark,I would think something from Avantgarde might be more accessible,cost wise? "If I lived in Europe"-which suggests a thread of its own- I'd be saving my euros for something from Marten Design,but that's just me. As the saying goes,your opinion may vary. Regardless, good luck in your search!
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?
