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?

If you stack them so the top speaker is upside down then the tweeters will be close to each other and less comb effects.....a D’appolito, if you will.  You could put some thick felt between the tweeters and that will eliminate some of the interaction between the two.

The most simple mod is to make sure you connect your speaker wire to the mid high terminal and make or get a serious jumper to go to the woofer terminal. The stock jumpers are crap.  Bi-wiring would be even better.  Just use some cheaper thick wire for the bass as a starter....will blow your mind.

@donsachs , Fascinating report on your crossover upgrades, Don. I’m tempted but don’t really have the skills. You should offer a drop in replacement crossover board! I’d certainly buy it, and I’m sure many others would, too. Just a thought. Well, more of a wish!

If you have Spatial audio ,the natural evolution is the x3,x5/
they have a horn like wave guide to what many consider 
the best AMT driver out there this modified Beyma  driver has a 7 inch wave guide and does the critical midrange and tweeter 
with -0  crossover in the signal path ,great 12 inch midBass 
and powered low Bass from 90 Hz down . Buy the upgraded 
Xover withThe VH audio  Odam capacitors. Great speakers 
they are on my to do list next year.

@ricevs the best jumpers are no jumpers. remove the back plate and combine mid-high wires to the wires on the bass binding post. You eliminate a lot of cheap metal in the signal path to boot.
