My system should move me, make you sit back and just enjoy the performance, the talent, and of course how real some things can sound, and once in a while a surprise of a recording you may not have played in a few years and on saying my new Sapphires M3's I hear the playback sound so different than when I last played that recording, then you really hear the change in your system from the last time you listened to that recording, and I know my recordings like the back of my hand, Even back in my LP days I had a good sound memory, to me with the Sapphires the music has taken on an in-room live feel to it, my Quads made you feel like you are your hearing a good recording, things sounded neat and in place, more like looking into the recording which was their biggest strength, of course, no crossovers, tweeters, mid-range drivers or woofers, there was a purity to it due to its design, but never made you feel like the M3's can do. I love them both for different reasons, but the Quads you would not want to push them like you can with the Spatial Audio without fear of damaging them, not that I play at ear-deafening levels but is nice to crank up without the worry of arcing the speakers and damaging them. I owned the Dynaudio Confidence 5's for a long while also, they were somewhere between the Quads and Sapphires M3's. Could don tone well and had dynamics but they were a box speaker and sound also came from them, you knew speakers were in the room, powerful bass though if you used the 4ohm tap on my McIntosh Amp. To me, Spatial Audio speakers sound more like a panel speaker than a dynamic driver speaker. Good stuff.
