Spatial Audio M4 Turbo S. Is its design competitive with other baffleless speakers?

There has been over the last 6 months a few ads for Spatial Audio "Turbo" Series speakers, especially the Turbo M-4 S which retails for $1999.00

Is the "Baffle less" design provide the same wide and deep stage as the Magneplanar model .7 or 1.7i  or other similar planar design, and offer accuracy and musicality? .

I have seen only one or two reviews of their speakers in the audio press.

Thank you,

S.J..

Haven't heard of them.

Their concentric driver looks identical to the one used in my Emerald Physics KC IIs (AA/USAudiomart), which I am selling only because I am moving up in their line to 3.0s. Mine have a WireWorld XO upgrade ($4500)

As I read further into the review, I agree with the additional complexity of DSP: the KC11s are passive, and do not require \ biamping (but you can if you desire).

FYI, I find speakers, especially baffless ones, sound best with zero toe in

Clayton designed Emerald Physics and then started Spacial Audio. 
I was oh so close to buying the Spacial's, but they're too large for my room.

My buddy has a pair of KC IIs in a small apartment and they sound great They're barely 42" tall from the bottom of their bases, without iso devices, which I highly recommend. Having owned Magnepan 3.5Rs and Accoustat 2 + 2s , the KCIIs are a super bargain
