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.

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.

Point well taken.
Turned subs back on and have them barely cracked on the pot, considerably less than 1 but just fleshed the music out everywhere.

So they can stay for now too.

I had considered some OB subs with my X3s early on. After they broke in I decided that was far from necessary.

Ozzy.
I have them and they are wired up so made sense to at least try them.
However I would agree that I think I will not be needing them once these are fully Broken in.

But nice to have options...
