RE: REVIEW: Spatial Audio M3 Sapphire Speakers

Posted by Dr.Phil on June 19, 2021 at 08:58:21:
Update. I have been living with the M3's for several months and they have fully broken in, the bass is impactful, clean with authority when on the recording. After they had settled in I wanted to try the 4-ohm output from my McIntosh amp, I read online where that was suggested and I had not tried it due to wanting them to burn in 1st. What was so enjoyable on the 8-ohm tap, turned into another speaker using the 4-ohm output taps. Highs, midrange, bass, imaging, depth of field, soundstage, and details became more natural with more dynamics. The improvement was not shocking because I heard this once before using the Dynaudio Confidence 5's when the 4-ohm outputs were used but that was years ago and I had forgotten about that speaker. So if you have an amp that allows you to try different outputs, as all-tube amps do, and McIntosh better solid-state amps do by all means give them a try, and if you open baffle Spatial Audio speakers it is a must. Just a superb speaker.
