the spatial audio (Clayton Shaw) speakers I have are the older M3TS model. OB speakers seem to work opposite of box speakers in that the closer they are to the corners the LESS bass there is, so just like with any speaker, finding the "sweet spot" that balances bass/midrange fullness with imaging and tonal balance is key. I think mine are about 3' from the front wall and 3.5' from the side walls. Once dialed in (if room allows) you should be able to hear a full expansive soundstage with great imaging. To my ears, because of no back on the speakers, electric guitars sound live. Cello, and other instruments also can sound great, but I think a lot depends on the set up, and quality of the amplifier and source components, and of course, the recording. Full orchestras sound amazing, and I am still having a hard time listening to streaming compared with vinyl, which to my ears is still king.
The Tekton Electrons sound very clear in the treble region and the bass is tight and sounds great--but, they just don't have quite the fullness and you are there presence of the Spatials. Hope this helps!
