Calling out spatial audio m3 sapphire owners!
If you go over to Audio Circle you will quickly learn that these speakers take 500 hours before you really know what they will sound like… so any review right out of the box is meaningless.    I spent 6 hours over 2 days listening to them through... 
Buy Back Old or Move On?
This would be an interesting option....I've heard the 2170 and it is a great sounding amplifier...and that is without turning the room perfect feature on...and like Coda, they hold their resale value. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649807204... 
Speaker shootout question -- do you position the same or differently, depending?
Ideally the speakers should be compared in their optimal sounding position assuming this is a position you are willing to live with.    In my case, the system/speakers reside within the main living space and therefore have to sound good in the sp...

Who uses ADS Speakers
I bought a pair of the 810 series 2 in the 80s… loved them.  So did my brother. Then after many years I moved on but gave him mine. He still has both pairs… 25+ yeard old, working perfectly and the tweeters are still sticky.    Great speakers!
