It's a tossup between my Audio Note Kits Kit 1 SET amp  and my Spatial Hologram M4  open baffle speakers. Together, they are just sublime. :-)

@whitestix  Agreed and agreed! The Spatial's are quite wonderful and to this day continue to relax and sound even more musical and open. I am also running mine, as you may know, with a low-power tube amplifier and the results are stunning. Now tha...

The De Capo's are very special. I moved on when I switched to a low power SET amp but have fond memories of those speakers. The Dulcets, by the way, are cut from the same cloth. Here's my Audio Asylum review of the De Capo's with a BE tweeter:http...

My New Review of the Spatial Hologram M4 Open Baffle Speaker
Map- I think that you would love the M4.  And with the 60 day home trial, you have very little to gamble.  Really, everything I said in the review was deeply felt. I think they are extremely special.And, yes, I am planning on holding onto them, un... 
Warmest sounding Green Mountain speaker?

My New Review of the Spatial Hologram M4 Open Baffle Speaker
I saw where somebody online wrote about having moved up from the Turbo to the Turbo S and thought the Turbo S was a substantial improvement. When I spoke with Clayton about the difference, he joked that at our age (late 50s) unless we had an unusu...
