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

Of late have been eying the Spatial Audio line of open baffle speakers and like what I have seen and read so far.
Now I am extremely happy with my baby Maggies which have easily bested any and all box speakers in my room ( that I can afford anyways!).
So looking for opinions and views from actual owners of said open baffle speakers, what did you change from and what are the real strengths of the Spatials?
Not short of horsepower to feed them even though they do not need much juice by all accounts but you know the old saying, " too much is never enough!"
Thanks in advance.

re: LFT8’s

If he did pursue them to inquire more - I think there is no way that Kevin would have been able to endure the 4-6 week backlog on orders. Someone correct me if it is less.

Audiophile anticipation once a decision to go in a direction is made, can not be stopped. It is a force of human nature that knows no bounds. JMO

I own the Spatial M3 TMs and really like them.  My room is 10.5’ x 14’ and currently have them positioned on the short wall. They are about 30” off the back wall and I have them toed in toward the MLP. 

I added two Rythmik sealed subs and have them crossed at 50-55Hz.  Works really well in my room. I am driving them with a First Watt J2 amp as they don’t need much power at all. 
Will be interested to hear how they work for you.

I had my F-12G's crossed at 37.5 hz and that was more than enough bottom end support in my 22' x 26' room and my M3TM's were 36" from the back wall.

I am expecting them to arrive Wednesday next week and will be straight into the system.
Will start with them in same position as the Maggie's.

Question for M3 owners.

How do you have them standing?
I mean on spikes or iso footers of some sort?

My Maggie's sit on 16*16*2 maple blocks that are subsequently spiked to the thick rug that sits over the tiled solid concrete floor.
Start with same or?
