Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies?

I've owned M3 TS's and then M3 TM's for four years now and they are a speaker you should enjoy.  One word of advice though is to not get to caught up in their efficiency ratings as I've found that the difference between what will work and what is actually necessary to be quite different things.  If you really want them to sing they will need the horsepower you have available.

I have no intention of trying them with a smaller valve amp for sure.

Too much is never enough and the BAT should make them sing for their supper!

Had u been just ever so slight slower on the trigger

or if I had treated my response like jump shooting ducks, I would have very very very strongly advocated for Eminent Technology panels....

imo u owe those a fair shot.....

Bruces's shop is less than 10 miles from my house and I haven't stopped by to listen to his speakers in many years.  Need to get around to it though.  

In a slightly different context than the OP, I went from Martin Logan Odysseys to the Spatial X3’s, with a brief Ohm Walsh 2000 stop in-between. The Ohm’s are nice, especially for the price. In terms of the X3’s efficiency, and my listening room is fairly small, I use a Graaf GM 20 OTL to drive them and it does so to much higher levels than I can stand for extended periods of time, and sounds great great in the process. I switched from the Logans as space was a consideration (from the room in our last house), not because I didn’t like the speakers. That said, I like these Spatials very much, they work perfect for my space and sound great.
