You have great speakers, I am still enjoying my M3 Sapphires. They play what you feed them and can sound as warm as a good tube recording or as bad as most over compressed and over production music of today in many cases, its not the speakers its the quaility of the recordings. Most music today is produced for protable music listernes, cell phones, streaming ect. We are a spec in sales to them. CD LP are a small niche market now as well as highend audio which now is marketed and priced not just for the upper middle class or even middle class but for the very well off. I am gald with what I have and I am done for the time being and the older I get the more I am no longer chasing my tail because I knw it only gets so good, your room matters more then gear, and the gear we choice to what plays best in that room accoutics. Room, time to learn a speakers and how it interacts in your room takes time but well worth it, and many systems I see in rooms, I ask why waste the money because the rooms are poorly setup and surrounding items and TV's and the rest just not allowing the system to be as good as it could and what you paid for. But that is OK as long as they enjoy it, but to call a speaker Bright, agressive in such rooms is not the speakers but how the room is producing the sound they hear. Open Baffle speakers do sound different than a box speaker and that is a good thing overall. But you have to take the time with setup of them as you would a Panel or Electrostatic speakers because they interct much different than a box speaker.
