Opinions on Pure Audio Project Quintet 15 Horn 1 Please

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for owners or people who've heard the Pure Audio Project Quintet 15 Horn 1. I'm considering purchasing a pair. I'm based in the UK.

My listening tastes are a bit eclectic, but I guess rock and electronica are what I predominately listen to. Room is medium size, 14' x 26 ish

I have a few concerns:
1. They will need a sub or subs.

2. I can't find any measurements, but I think I read on these forums that the horn falls off substantially at 10/11khz & that some people are using super tweeters to compensate.

Can anyone assist please?

Best regards,

Dagda

That was my take on the Spatial Audio X3. The midrange wasn’t fleshed out and “real “ to my ears.

@jjss49 and I had a similar experience. I actually replaced the x3 with cornwalls. I have since moved on to LaScalas but I think the CW IV is the better all around speaker over the spatial. Although I do agree about the outstanding bass reproduction of the X3.

I’m not trying to say the X3 isn’t a good speaker, it certainly is. I was an early adopter and kept mine for a year. Like all good speakers they have shortcomings and you have to decide if the trade off is worth it. I can see them being an end game speaker for some.

I believe Ralph was quoting my post.
