In my own approx 30x30 finished basement which is my listening room, fine tuning the Harbeth 30.2 took quite a bit of work in a quest to bring out the bass without comprimising the soundstage or overall coherence and focus. It was less than a 1/4 inch that finally did it. However, I am also sure there are countless other possibilities which I may never even discover at this point since I’m happy with the result and that’s good enough for me. |

I've owned a pair of the M3 Sapphire's predecessor, the M3 Triode Master, for over four years and used them in two different systems in rooms of very different dimensions. I experiment with distance from the front wall in both rooms from two feet to five feet. In both rooms ended up very close to the three feet distance so it will work. Right now I am listening to a pair of C7-ES3's at our second home and they are farther from the rear wall than that.

Stated as having a "large room," and nobody is going to suggest Magnepan?
Heck, a pair of 1 year old 3.7is can be had under $6k, and if you're lucky, you might find some 20.whatever in the given budget. Just my thoughts... |

Stephen, I would imagine if open baffle design was a clear advantage in any way, we'd see a whole bunch more open baffle speakers instead of very costly boxes with inert materials or sympathetic resonance wood cabinets... Imagine how much money can be saved in all we needed was a frame and good quality drivers in it.

Bache Audio Tribeca. The version using the Eton Woofers is my preferred speaker at my house. My other speakers are Quad ESL 57s (rebuilt by Quads Unlimited) and Audio Physic Tempo Plus. The Bache’s use a modified wide band driver that operate between 500-8k, and it’s augmented by a super tweeter and two 8 inch woofers. Very simple crossover. The sound is coherent, balanced, and holographic..

Revisiting as I’m still no closer...
My gut keeps going back to the spatials but I have been interested in the gr research nx oticas but not sure I would personally be happy with my ability to finish them correctly and lastly used Focals (1038, or Kantas). |

Spatial sells direct. Do they have an at home trial period? If they do, that may be the best approach.

I've had a pair of the X5's (active sub, AMT's) for a couple months now and am not looking back. You can pair them with most any amplifier (quieter ones) with good results, and they're quick to reveal the strengths and weaknesses. I have an LTA microZOTL preamp and LTA Ultralinear (20wpc tube) power amp, which sounds very good, but also Cherry Maraschino DTM's, Apollon Purifi 1ET400's, and Nord Hypex 500's for a variety of low cost SS options. Each has its own charms on the X5's, but I've not heard anything that sounds "off". You just can't go wrong. In terms of distance from the front wall, mine are 4' out, which interestingly is the very same spot most of my others were. Last edited by Masterlu; 12-10-2020 at 08:17 PM.
