I just purchased the newest model of open baffle speakers from Spatial Audio, called the Sapphire M5s. Before I bought them, I did plenty of online research, and found a lot of love for this small company, including some favorable postings on Audiogon. Turns out it wasn't just hype. These speakers sound amazing, and they are only the entry-level model at $3500. My main concern for buying the M5s was that the bass driver is smaller than the other models. But it turns out my M5s integrate really well with my SVS subwoofer (after I messed with room placement). The highs and mids were outstanding from the get go. BTW, I am streaming Tidal from my Macbook using Audinirvana software, running through a Parasound Hint integrated.
You may already know this, but the company is run by one guy, Clayton Shaw, who designed all the products. Before I bought my speakers, I watched a bunch of YouTube videos of Clayton at audio shows, and so forth, and was impressed enough to call him. He was totally accessible. And he did not hard-sell me at all. Really refreshing approach.
