Title: Spatial vs Pure Audio Project
Post by: classical music lover on 13 Jun 2018, 05:40 am
Which brand and model do you like and why?  I am considering Spatial M3 Triode, X2 or PAP Voxitiv or horn speaker.  Heard the Spatials but not heard the PAP's yet.

I'd like to hear the PAPs with a Cube Audio driver:

Word is they might better the Voxatif, at least some models.

Here's a translation of a Russian comparison, the only such I've seen. Sorry about the link length:

Voxativ's pricing starts at about $2500 per pair up to well over $30,000 for their field coil.

I have the M4 Triode Masters and they are easily the most enjoyable speakers I have had in 45 years of having great audio gear.  I guess all I can say it that I am an utter and total OB speaker devotee.  They music flows effortlessly from the speakers, they are dynamic and quick, and have a wonderfully large soundstage.  The are quite easy to drive.  Yeah, I love OB speakers for lots of reasons.  I have yet to hear the Pure Audio Project speakers personally, but friends that have heard them speak very favorably about them.
