IMO they're TOTALLY different like an apple to orange.
I agree, but this is exactly a reason why I am asking. Both of the speakers are rather "untypical".M3 - Open baffle below 800Hz, and controlled directivity above.HL5s - use thin walls which makes them behave a bit different from 500Hz and lower (please check http://www.harbeth.co.uk/usergroup/showthread.php?351-BBC-style-thin-wall-cabinets-Why-so-special&p=2664#post2664 for the details) so I wondered if this had any similarities/effects in bass region as OB speakers i.e. less room interaction. I am not sure what they behave in higher registers. This is something I would need to research a bit more. I also wish I could listen to both and compare by myself, but...60 days policy is rather reassuring in regards to the sound quality.
Here's my take on the M3 Turbo S - http://hometheaterreview.com/spatial-m3-turbo-s-floorstanding-speakers-reviewed/
Finally ordered a pair of M3 Turbo S speakers in white.Should be here in around 3 weeks or so.George
I'll have a chance to demo them soon and form my own conclusions.
Wind Chaser . . . I'm in Canada as well. Where do you plan on demoing them or are you actually going to order a pair and bring them in on the 60 day trial? I'm sure these would be awesome with the Dynamo SE you just ordered.
Steven,Thank you for the very lucid and detailed review. I enjoyed reading it. Is it possible that the Nuforce ST-10 that you mentioned twice is in fact a NuPrime ST-10 instead?Michael
Steven, how big is your room and how did you have them set up in relation to the room?
After checking Spatial's Facebook page I found this comment:"Sound: With a good source (recording), they are impressive. I have found that Latin Jazz, Pop, Funk, Blues & Rock thrive when played on the Spatial. The sound is realistic with an outstanding soundstage. Percussion is true gut bucket sound. If you're a classical listener or the easy listening type, consider something else"I wondered why the author wrote this part: "If you're a classical listener or the easy listening type, consider something else"I mean, why these wouldn't be good for easy listening type ?Also, were M3s in Munich this week, I didn't see any report?
I"m not an avid classical listener but I'd disagree with that post.
On what basis? Why should anyone care? Are you merely disagreeing for the sake of it? Would it kill you to put a little more effort into your posts?
MichaelI suspect he meant Nuprime as he reviewed the 10 combo for TAS last summer. I tried the ST-10 with my M3 Turbo S's and it was in fact a very good match. This was using the W4S STP-SE and the Modwright LS-100 as preamps. In their final resting place my M3's are mated with the DAC-10 and the W4S mAMPS another great match. At the time the M1 and M2, which later became M3 and M4, were being developed Clayton was also selling W4S so the match with the mAMPS is a natural.
Because I actually own them!
