Battle of the Open Baffles

Glad to see there are more and more commercial OB choices available these days. I bought a pair of Spatial Audio M3 Sapphires three years ago (sadly, they are no longer available) and consider myself very lucky to own a pair. I actually can’t imagine ANY box speaker sounding as good as the Spatials in my somewhat challenging room.

Here is another option for $6k:

Or maybe this one:

I own a pair of spatial Audio x3 and they do sound fantastic. If they had a lacking it would be in the midrange. If you are a DIY person I would HIGHLY recommend looking up ABX-BAFFLES and La-Dolce audio on youtube. Then if you get excited about hearing them join their discord. These have been a game changer! take note my x3 are in the background (yes they are THAT good).

I couldn't agree more. The midrange is the one area that speaker is lacking. But once you hear it, you can't unhear it.
