The X3 wouldn't suite my listening space. The X3 is better suited to a listening position at least 10 feet from the speakers because the AMT mid/tweeter has a narrow angle of dispersion. The X3 mid/tweeter is also open in the back while the mid/tweeter on the M3 Sapphires is closed, so, again, the X3 will want to be out into the room farther than the M3 needs to be.The AMT mid/tweeter is a very expensive part and the amp on the woofer adds cost as well. The cost buys greater sensitivity and more projection of the sound into a larger room, neither of which I needed. The M3 and X3 are complementary speakers to fit different needs.I have not listened to the X3 in person, although the binaural recording on the New Record Day Youtube channel gives a useful comparison.so I spoke with Clayton at length about which speaker to get. I ended up with the X3. I am not 10 feet from them and my room is not large. But I have to say these things are incredible. I never demoed the saphires but I have had MG in the past (3.7is) no comparison when you add the bass to the mix.
