@mike_f I have the M3 Sapphires and found that although they are efficient they do like more power. I too was concerned about pushing those 15" Woofers. I wound up with a 50 Watt Octave V70 Class A. I personally love what these speakers do. I do have to say that a very thorough room treatment was in order and they are spectacular!
Spatial M3 Sapphire or Klipsch Forte 4
Looking to get a high efficiency speaker, that matches well with push pull tubes and single ended triode. I listen mainly to classic rock type music.
Think Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, type stuff.
Want to feel the punch of kick drum and quick dynamic transients.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks

@mike_f Personally I think the Sapphires need a little more wattage but I do think that may be based on room size and listening levels. I also agree with @snapsc that the sound is so very lifelike. I think the presentation between these two speakers would be vastly different. Also, the M3's are not small by any means and are better out in the room. I have had mine since 2019 and it took me a while to really love them. tweaking acoustics, amps and they love improvements on the front end. M4's might be fine in your listening room and be less $$ |
