Ok not much of a statement OZ, you didnot have the upgraded Xover  which is a very good upgrade , what was wrong with the X3 ?  when did you own them 
if you are going to make a statement at least explain what you didnot like about them ,and what did you buy to replac3 them .

I just ordered the M-3s I’m planning on using them with my Hegel H390. I will definitely leave some feedback after the arrival..

I owned them from August of 2019 to August of 2020. I thought they were very good and did all the audiophile things well. Very open and the bass was excellent in definition and extension. But ultimately I wasn’t happy with the 12” driver as a midrange. I didn’t hear the texture and nuances in vocals and brass instruments that I wanted. All in all, a quality product that just didn’t move me emotionally.

I moved on to the Klipsch Cornwall IV. I’ve been back and forth with horns for years so I took a chance on them and it paid off. Much more texture and vibrancy in the midrange. Bass isn’t quite as good but I added a pair of 15” subs to carry that.

I ran a set of X5's for a year or so and really liked them.

I have since found a set of AZ Crescendo MK2's and have them in the system now.

The Spatials are a very good sounding speaker and actually sound better everywhere in the room and at low listening levels.

The MK2's sound better in the sweet spot but not by much. I did run a pair of SVS 3000's with the X5's and also with the MK2's.

I have a pair of X5's. They are the most revealing speaker I have ever owned, which is a bit surprising given how relaxed they are. Any upstream changes are clearly evident. The tweeter is probably the most natural sounding in my experience. Properly setup there is a fairly narrow sweet spot, enough for two people. The tweeter's vertical dispersion is somewhat limited - you will notice as you sit down in the sweet spot how things come into focus. I am currently trying to get a more layered depth to the image. I am waiting for an Aesthetix Romulus to arrive, replacing my PS Audio Directstream Sr. I did audition a Pass XA25, which did indeed provide the depth I was looking for, but there were other issues with it, so back to my Rowland 535. Like any dipole they need to be out in the room a considerable distance, mine are ~4 ft from the front wall. All in all, they are really satisfying speakers.
