M3 Turbo S owner here. My Spatials are the first speaker I've owned in 25 years in this madness that gave me the "weight" in music that I've been looking for, specifically in classical music. Also, they have a naturalness to them that I really lik... 
MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?
@denism  Did it sound as if the LTA Z10 had any problem driving the Spatials? Even though they are sensitive, I heard their impedance curve does not do well with lower powered amplifiers.
