Did you think about trying another amp first before swapping out speakers? I have owned both as well as the M3TM's and I'm not sure you're going to get the big jump you think. The spec's on the Spatial's are very misleading as to the power that actually need in the average room much less a larger one.
Considering Vandersteen 3a Signatures
I have Spatial Audio M3 Turbo S which I enjoy but was recently considering trying the Vandersteen 3a Signatures. I love the soundstage and the holographic feel of the Spatial's but I'm seeking greater clarity in the treble and more detail in the mids. I am driving these speakers with a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum with KT120 tubes. The source is mostly analog via VPI Prime, Dynavector Karat and Parasound Halo JC3+. Also digital via Auirender N100 and Schiit Gumby. I listen to a wide spectrum of music, but mostly in the rock and jazz genre.
Should I expect a major difference in sound? Any other ideas for speakers that would fit the bill?
