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

One consideration I have not seen discussed here is whether there is a removable grill. While some designs are more polished and appear more living room-esque, they are imo hindered if they have a fixed grill.
The impact of the grill is substantial; when I compare with/without grill on speakers I much prefer sans grill. I am not sure I would accept a speaker with fixed grill as a reference. It is one reason I moved away from lower end Vandy and Magnepan speakers. The loss in performance is not insignificant.

Imo, the buyer is best served if they determine which primary driver in an OB speaker their ear likes best, concentric, horn, full range, array etc. as they all are distinct sounding.

Spatial Audio speakers have removable grills.

That said, some speakers are designed with the grill to be left in place as this is how the speaker was tuned. Green Mountain Audio and Klipsch are two that readily come to mind.

Well hey there all.
Thought it was about time to update everyone on the Spatial M3 TM speakers and the long list of mods I have performed to them......


Last week I moved one 1/2".













































Need to sit down and recover after that.
