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

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?

4 to 6 weeks wait....
😱😱😱😱😱

I thought Clayton had a demo pair ready to ship? Why the wait?

For the same price  you could buy the pair that MorganC has on Audio Circle.

Sorry that reply was my sarcastic reply to Chris post above it as he knows me too well with patience level of zero.
That wait time was for the ET speakers.

Mine will be here Wednesday 😁😊

I owned Maggie 1.7i's and just received my new X5's.  I'm still breaking them in but the dynamics and bass are better.  The AMT driver is very detailed, yet smooth.  The DSP and N Core amp handling the bass are a big plus as now my amps simply have to handle from 90 hertz and up.  Very nice upgrade.
For those considering EP, remember that these speakers are basically unchanged since Clayton sold to Underwood in 2009.  Clayton has gone through 4 generations of speakers and changes since then.  Also, I see people recommending the m3 turbos and masters.  Those have been replaced by the M3 and M5 Sapphires.  I heard the M3's at a show last fall and they are an excellent speaker (one of the best rooms in the show) with the Linear Tube Audio ZOTL10, Lampizator Amber 3, and wired with Anticables.  The entire system was going for $9999.  Incredible value.

Your X5s will sound drastically better with more hours. My X3s continued to noticeably break in well over the 300 hour mark. If you think they sound good now, just wait......
