| Spatial X5 speakers My Spatial X5s are stock though with an upgraded crossover. I just got Townshend supertweeters as well. I also use Loudspeaker purifiers that are sold on Audiogon though I had them upgraded and they are presently being shipped back to me. | |
| Spatial X5 speakers @char1 I had the SPL Elector preamp in my exercise room system. I listened to it in stock form. I did not unbox it for several months after it came in. Initially, I was going to sell it but changed my mind after it did not sell. I then hooked ... | |
| Spatial X5 speakers An addendum to my above post. You can drive the Spatial x5s with low powered amps but, in my system, the amp experimentation that I have done suggests to me that the X5s like high power. High sensitivity be damned, they sound better driven by a ... | |
| Spatial X5 speakers Ok, @jerryg123 got me motivated to put the Voyager GAN amp back in. It was modded previously by one of the posters in this thread. I was semi chastised previously for putting my 150 wpc modded PassLabs amp on thes Spatial X5s cause of their high... | |
| DACs and more. Is there a good analog sounding DAC. Holo Audio dac sounds the most natural of all my dacs. | |
| Zavfino Anyone heard the top of the line Zavino versus Grover Huffman's excellent Pharoah speaker cables? | |
| Calling out spatial audio m3 sapphire owners! If the Spatial Sapphires are anything like the X5s then they take forever to break in. I have just gone through this process and my X5s improved thru 500 hours. I am wearing out the tubes in my Sachs preamp breaking them in. | |
| SPL: Reference level performance, German build quality, and innovative designs The SPL Elector preamp has given me killer performance. Extreme clarity, great spatiality, and tubelike tonal colors. This is one helluva preamp and, at the asking price for a little over two grand, it's a borderline steal of the new millennium.... | |
| Spatial X5 speakers @jerryg123 right now I am using a modded PassLabs X150.5 amp. I do plan to reinsert the Voager GAN because I started out with this amplifier but it was being used when the speakers were not nearly broken in. The speaker breakin time with these ... | |
| Spatial X5 speakers I now have > 600 hours on my Spatial X5s. They have improved to my ears even beyond 500 hours of play. These speakers throw a beautiful, detailed sounscape that exceeds what I have gotten out of even excellent box speakers. Their liquidity i... | |
| China built tube amps I have the Audio GD tube preamp. And it is nothing short of awesome and is built like a damn tank. It is a Chinese company. | |
| Spatial X5 speakers @james_edward I ordered some Blue-Tack and will give that a try! Thanks.... | |
| Spatial X5 speakers @lewinskih01 I just plugged the Townshend supertweeter into my lakehouse system. They make a very pleasing and positive difference. | |
| Spatial X5 speakers I am thinking of adding a Townshend (sp?) supertweeter. Will the Quad mounts they sell work on the X5? | |
| Spatial X5 speakers Great read @ hilde45. One thing for sure, long break in time is a spatial Audio familial trait. My X5s finally developed percussive bass at north of 350 hours. They have about 400 hours on them and are still evolving. I now have my third diffe... |
