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

Well. We are waiting........

Sorry Ozzy.
Been sitting here and trying to stem the flow of drool.......


They arrived about lunch and quickly unpacked and setup in roughly same position as the Maggie's.

I turned both subs off before I played any music and that's the way it will stay, they have NO need of any bottom end reinforcement in my room.

Now the Maggie's may have just had the edge in very top end sparkle but as far as cohesion and body, the Spatials win hands down.

Instruments are very easy to pick out of the mix individually and the soundstage seems to extend way past the speakers.

I did tilt them down towards me slightly which got a little more top end sparkle so I need time to play with placement etc.

But overall very happy indeed.

Congrats!

Get them at least 3 ft into the room if possible and as far apart as practical. I am a big fan of horns and OB speakers. I’m sure once you get them dialed in you will be even more impressed.

Right now about 4 ft from back and side walls and about 7 .5 ft apart.
I toed them in towards me some more and I got a bit more energy at the higher end with no other apparent losses.
It's going to be good.....

DON'T shut down the idea on subs just yet! I would wait for break-in to determine if you need a sub or not. Personally, I find the addition of dual subs well integrated with the Triode Masters to be a huge increase in music satisfaction. I listen to a lot of artists like RUSH, YES, KING CRIMSON, THE POLICE, AC/DC etc.
