Spatial Audio Labs


I have owned the older Spatial audio labs design 
I don’t see much on the Newer X3 and X5 models .
I heard them a few times at audio get together s  several months ago 
and being 97 db efficient, with power Bass below 90 HZ , the open baffle design seems to hav3 come a long way , the superb to my ears Beyma Tweeter-Midrange is very special in the designed-wave guide 
and venting out the back from 1 khz - around 25 khz  with Nothing in the Xover above 1 khz 
I was very surprised only 2 capacitors and 1 inductor in the entire Xover . I heard them with the upgraded VH audio Odam capacitors . They sounded at least as good or better then any $15k + box 
speaker . If anyone owns these, or has heard them in depth  pleas3 share your experiences

I recently acquired a pair of X3's and first and foremost I'd call them revealing with an omnipresent quality. I've tried five amps with them, leading the pack is a Naim Uniti Nova. The combination has quick reflexes and an exquisitely controlled, musical, extended bass. I only have two memories of systems I'll never forget and the X3's belong right there with them.

I know that many of the AC guys love tubes with Spatial speakers but I'm interested to know what else folks have successfully paired with their Spatials. The Nova is my favorite out of Hegel H390, Vinnie Rossi LIO with VR120 or Musical Fidelity 550K Superchargers and my plucky Naim Nait 2.
