X3 vs X5
« on: 27 Oct 2021, 01:30 am »
I had an old emerald physics, one of the original ones I think.  was very impressed with it and now looking to step up to Spatial.  is there a big difference between the X3 and the X5?

Unless you have a very large room, I would suggest the X5's, but check with Clayton.  I will tell you this....the current lineup of speakers by Clayton are miles ahead of his previous Emerald Physics offerings.  Years of tweaking his designs, and the use of advanced parts and materials have Spatial Audio Labs at the forefront of OB designs.  If you liked EP's, you'll love Spatials.  BTW....I, too, owned EP's for a short time and now have the X5's.

I'll confess, I'm a bit of a bass head.  And I have a large room, so the X3 was a clear choice for me.

Tyson, when did you get the X3? How do they compare to your super 7?

I ordered them back in late summer, but due to parts (and driver shortages), they only got built last week.  I'm having Clayton burn them in at the factory 24/7 for a week before sending them to me.  I imagine they will be here in the next week or so.

As a fellow super 7 owner I am very interested to hear how they compare.
