Hello all,

I'm interested in what people who have heard the speaker feel about it. I currently run spatial M3 turbos and have an all tube analog setup ( line magnetic, hagerman ) with an oppo 105 being the digital front end.


Previous speakers have been acoustic zen, reference 3A, Maggie 3.6, and triangles. I am more concerned with a huge immersive sound stage than I am with pinpoint imagery. I have a big room and have plenty of space between the back wall and my speakers if I need it.


Any thoughts?

it is nice that speakers like these exist, and are (relatively) affordable

each special in its own way, spectacular in how it pushes the right buttons of certain listeners

in an enthusiast undertaking and community, excellence is the key, mediocrity and commoditization are the enemy... excellence creates interest, passion, and most importantly, brings more people in and captivates them

spatials orangutans and c4’s all rather diametrically opposed in how they radiate sound, fill up a space with music, and thus appeal to different peoples sense of what music should sound like based on their own frames of reference and past experiences
@dbarger  thanks for the info! OMG these are the size of a dishwasher right?? Can you compare them to the O/93 with room loading? The O/93 have the ability to slam dynamically and with 30hz bass that can flap your pant legs. Do these seem to dig as deep? Sub needed? Has anyone heard them with movies?
Thanks all, appreciate more people stepping up!
My room is 15 x 22 x 9. C4’s are on short wall, out 36” from front wall and in 33” from side walls when measured from center of grilles.  They are toed in to cross axis’s about two feet in front of me. I sit about two-thirds into the room from the front wall. 
I don’t hear much in the way of depth but left to right imaging is pretty good. Not pinpoint but not bad. 
Frequency response is stellar. Very smooth and only getting a bit rough in the bottom couple of octaves. This was smoothed out and firmed up with the addition of a couple of decent old Velodyne subs. 
As I stated in a previous post, I have had the feeling these speakers may be too revealing of less than superior recordings. Well, after giving up on my idea of raising the front of the speakers, Heresy style, the over-revealing glare has largely dissipated. I think my fairly extreme toe-in also helps.

I do miss the airiness and three dimensionally you can get with some other speakers but I do love the slam and the clarity (with good recordings).  Ultra low distortion is nice too. No fuzzies and no grit. 
Really my main issues are these:  price, footprint, height and rather unforgiving nature. But if you can live with the downside, the upside is huge.
