In Reply to: Emerald Physics vs. Spatial Audio posted by Jon L on May 9, 2020 at 09:57:14:
Only one point observation. I judge on classical tonality primarily, as there's an absolute reference and one can tell if it's mostly "right" or "wrong" immediately.
The Emerald Physics model being demoed was wrong. I like dipoles but something simply didn't work right, it was almost broken.
I liked the Spatial Audio speaker, particularly for the money, it would be pleasing to many, and an open sound as well.
At the same show though the Magnepan 0.7's were demoed as well. On their own, the Spatial (more expensive) were probably better overall as they had much more bass, but the Magnepans were also combined with some great subs and crossovers/correction and that combination was amazingly good. The clarity & class of Maggies were superior above 80 Hz.
