| SVS vs REL and experiences with both: your comments and preferences... I’ve owned a pair of SVS SB-12+ in the past and if I had a smaller room, I’d still own them. Great build quality, excellent, sealed box performance, and fantastic value.I now have a single REL 212SE and it too offers great performance... at a much... | |

| What amp to match with Spatial Audio M3 Sapphire open back speakers The M3 turbo S was/is a fantastic open baffle speaker but required dual sealed subs and sub eq in my room. I was looking to simplify my system and set out in search of a speaker with more bass and tonal weight. I'm still a spatial fan, and was pla... | |
| What amp to match with Spatial Audio M3 Sapphire open back speakers I owned the M3 turbo s for about a year. My best pairing with that speaker was the Bob Latino ST-70 (tubes4hifi.com).
