Lol, of course this hobby is very subjective and everyone hears things differently, that post is just my opinion based on my ears.I started this hobby in 1976, my first system was McIntosh tubes and Klipshorns. I've had McIntosh in my house ever since, but I've also had Audio Research tube preamps and amps, various models. I've had Von Schweikert speakers, again several different models, Magnepans, and Quad. This is my first Class D venture, never heard one before the M33. The only thing I remember being as holographic and with such a detailed image and big soundstage has been some tube gear I had, Chinese Ming Da, big 805 radio tubes and Von Schweikert VR9, the Audio Research gear was very close. I've owned many other brands of solid state and tube gear, really can't think of a solid state system that was this good.
If the M33 lacks depth to some people, it certainly doesn't here, maybe they need to look at other parts of their system or room. With the Spatial Audio speakers the soundstage is huge in width and depth and very accurate imaging. I'm very happy with what I'm hearing and I only have 2 boxes sitting on my shelf now. One balanced digital cable between the 2 and a set of speaker cables, that's it. I needed to downsize and this fits the bill. Gotta Love minimalism. And another thing, for $9k I think its a bargain.
