Spatial Audio X3 Open Baffle Loudspeaker

After 40+ years as a musician, producer, engineer, audiophile and overall audio enthusiast including a run at being a partner in a high end audio dealership, I made the decision to purchase Clayton Shaw’s M3Turbo S and now the X3s. I am a huge fan of how these speakers reproduce music.
Hope you enjoy my review.

The Spatial Auido speakers I heard at one of the RMAF shows produced some of the best sound I've ever heard. I see a pair of Spatial Auido speakers in my future. Thanks for the review.

Very nice sounding speakers. One of my dream speakers now.

[@eva2k0]

That's very nice of your wife to let you have all of that in what appears to be your living room! Been wanting to build some open baffle speakers myself. I like the idea of the driver moving without an air spring behind it and overcoming issues with filtering and interference with treatments.

[@audiotalk6155]

[@thunderpooch]

True, you're not hearing how they sound per se, but you are hearing many audible cues, or clues if you prefer, to how they would sound relative to other speakers. KZbin clips of speakers are very informative, if you're able to understand what they can and cannot convey.

Open baffle! Very nice! I had a pair of open baffle speakers with a sub of course, these sound amazing through my headphones.

Really good review. Those are incredibly attractive speakers. I have a pair of Spatial M3 Sapphires on order in Sepele finish. While they certainly are not the level of the X3 they should be a significant improvement in my system. They also have a secondary baffle and same woofers but passive. They have a less expensive mid/tweeter but Clayton says he loves the way it sounds. Can't wait to hear them. By the want thank you for introducing me to Janis Ian.

[@audiotalk6155]

snowpuppy77 Appreciate the comments. The M3 Sapphires should be exciting to listen to. Congrats on the purchase! Janis Ian is a treasure!

[@mariodrv]

They ar not "worse", just different, smoother. And their tweeter just produces highs that sound more right - a metric not very often used when it comes to tweeters but shuld be absolutely. The do not resolve AS much but are still extremely detailed - nothing is missing. It is more a question of use case and preference than better or worse. On all sound demos I have heard I just liked the sound of the Sapphires more. Even tho as an audiophile I can apreciate the brutal realism the AMT provides it i just to much for me and it simply does not click for me like with the Sapphires which I absolutely adore.

Love how you provided sound clips in spite of some audiophile purists who think KZbin compression won't convey any difference to the viewer. I use an iem to listen to vids and songs, and I can still find the differences in the quality of the gears reviewed, though I think it would depend on the micing technique of how the audio is recorded during playback. Which brings me to ask how you miced during recording your auditions/reviews? Regarding this Spatial Audio speakers, I found it so life-like, detailed, and fast. The same qualities I heard in New Record Days' Ron review of the Spatial Audio Sapphire M3. Btw, just found your channel today and liked your review format, esp the sound clips. Subbed!!! ps/edit the comment was typed while watching/listening to the video... thus the edits hehehe the last portion of the video answered my query re: micing technique/gear... Sony PCM D100 also on the slides it says the AMT goes down to 1kHz, does it mean one of the 15in drivers, acting as a woofer, goes up to 1kHz, or both the 15in drivers do? Hoping for a reply even though this is an old video. Thanks and more subs!!!

[@audiotalk6155]

The KB117 thank you for your comments and glad to have helped out. Yes, the Sony PCM D100 recorder is very special. I placed it in the listening position. No direct mixing techniques. I wanted to capture the listeners perspective. The X-3: In addition to the AMT driver, the midrange driver is 12” and the powered sub woofer is 15”. Midrange covers 1k down to 90hz. Sub is 90hz down to 25hz. Cheers!

[@Diatonic5th]

Great review! I'm considering a pair of M5 Sapphire's for my 11'X15' listening room. Any suggestions for room treatments? I have a large area rug and shelves of records, but very little on my walls. Do OB speakers benefit from having dispersion panels on the wall behind them? I'll be pulling the speakers out about 3' from the rear wall and 3' from the side walls as well.

[@blessonjacob3809]

Hi. Great review! I noticed that the tweeter on the X series rolls off at around 20khz versus much higher on the M series. What audible difference does this make to your ears?

[@audiotalk6155]

Blesson Jacob the X3 provide the listener with unparalleled transparency in the high end and with a 8” corrugated diaphragm it has a huge mechanical advantage over the M3. You pay more for it if course, but the subtleties of the presentation sets it apart and gives you a speaker that is unmatched. Hope this helps!

[@quintvvv1447]

[@fido0825]

Oh, but BTW, the Spatial Audio X3 does sound very good in a real life listening environment. I have heard them at RMAF a few years ago so I don't mean to disparage that speaker! I also have Tekton Design OB Sigmas, a mostly open baffle design and Apogee Duetta planar speakers I listened to for 15+ years, albeit both speaker brands with Hsu Research subs. Don't let them fool you...planar or open baffles in the very low end cancel far to much to get proper bass with out whacky equalization as low frequencies "wrap around" and cancel themselves.

[@vicg5323]

I am in the market for open baffle speaker. Looking to build the Martin King design to compare to my Elacs. Is this speaker made in Europe? What does the class D amp power? Do you use an amp or just a preamp with that class D? Thanks for sharing. Love the sound they make.

[@audiotalk6155]

I’m pretty sure Clayton has an European contact on his distributor page on his website and of course you can call him with questions. The class D amp with volume control powers the 15” woofer. All you do is plug in your normal amps speaker leads into the connectors plug on the back of the X3s and you are good to go.

Could you, by chance, post your placement measurements (roughly)? I have a pair of the M3 Turbo S. I am constantly trying to dial them in to my room.

[@audiotalk6155]

I use the test disc from reference recordings, nothing like setting them up to the out of phase track... 3.5 to 4 feet from the back wall and about 10 feet apart if you have the room. Toe’d in a bit. Keep moving them around incrementally until the speakers sound like there coming at you from all around the room. The more they are like this the more they will sound focused in phase. I’ll post a video on this once things settle down.

[@redballsman]

Thank you and I look forward to your vid on the subject.

Very detailed except no mention of the crossover. Makes me wonder why you would be so inclusive on all other equipment but omit this one vital detail.

[@audiotalk6155]

Porkchop's Papi good call out. Sensible and relevant. The sound is so seamless between the three drivers it doesn’t draw attention to it. Yes, Clayton is using clarity caps, but the fact that the AMT driver is crossed down at 1k is key to the one piece sound he achieves. Also, having the cross over network mounted on the sub baffle improves the transparency. Check out my interview with him. He goes into some detail in this area. Let me know if you have any specific questions after you listen to the interview. Cheers!

Given your experience in audio can you share with me if these may solve these issues with respect to the electrostats? Thanks in advance, Rob

Robert Bernard Thanks for your kind comments. The biggest difference with these speakers is that they seamlessly go down to 25hz! The are very dynamic while having the ultra transparency of an electrostatic. These are not very finicky in terms of placement as long as you 3-4’ from the back wall and 4’ from the side wall. Can’t imagine that these would not do the trick and give you a less than amazing listening experience that you would be thrilled with. Cheers!

[@fafan111]

what does the DSP do and what do you think about Hypex controlled woofer/subwoofer?

[@audiotalk6155]

fafan111 great question! The digital signal processor helps support different rooms, but it’s set at the factory and I have not had to touch it! From my understanding the customers that bought the X3s have not had to play with it. The woofer/amp combination is outstanding. The bass pounds your chest while being true to the timbre of the bass. Plenty of power, you can see the volume position is at noon with plenty of gain available. I had it too loud and had to dial it it back. My main amps for the midrange and AMT are 400w a channel.

[@fafan111]

@@audiotalk6155 thanks for the response, what do you mean support different rooms? Also can you comment on vertical and horizontal dispersion? I've heard AMTs have a very narrow vertical dispersion but just wanted your perspective. Thanks in advance :)

[@audiotalk6155]

@fafan111 Auto room correction. Although Spatial Audio indicated that i probably won't need to use the DSP. When I set up my speakers I found them to be very balanced and didn't feel the need to tweak anything. I think the recording shows the quality of sound in my room. Here is the link to the nCORE amp: www.hypex.nl/product/fusionamp-fa251/155 In terms of a narrow vertical dispersion, I don't buy that on the AMTs in these speakers. The image and depth of sound staging is extremely pleasing to listen to. Deep and wide. Much more expansive than the M3S Turbo which was excellent. All good with dispersion :). It’s a strength of the speakers. Thanks again for you question.

[@anandshah71]

Audio Talk fa251 is a 1 channel 1 way so how are you powering the midrange and tweeter and dsp

[@issadad]

How does X3 compare to X4 and X5? Only the X4, it seems, is still available.

[@audiotalk6155]

It’s a very similar speaker in that the drivers are the same, but the X3 has a powered sub woofer and the X4 doesn’t. However, the X4 has a better crossover and better feet than the X3s. I prefer the power sub, but would also like the better crossover which I think I could eventually upgrade too.

[@issadad]

@@audiotalk6155 Thanks. I'm interested in Spatial Audio Labs. New Record Day, the only KZbin hifi channel to make a serious effort at HQ demos, introduced me to the M3 Sapphires, which I love and might look for used. Both the X3 and X5 have the powered woofer with 97 dB sensitivity, while X4, as you say, does not and efficiency drops to 88 dB -- but the X4 crossover and base are upgrades. Of special note for me is the height of these models: X3 the tallest at 52", X4 and X5 at 45". In my huge space (26 x 22 x 15 ft high), one of my priorities is soundstage height, getting the image up above the speaker tops. (I was all set to go with Maggie 1.7i's or 3.7i's until Maggie lovers warned me that my space is TOO big for them.) So I'm hoping that Clayton Shaw's open baffle jobs will be better suited to my room? Do you have any sense of which Spatial Audio model might deliver the highest soundstage? Thanks.

I recommend using a lavalier mic on your body rather than using the mic on the camera which delivers hollow sound. You are talking about good audio so why have poor sound on your vids? An off camera mi.c will make a huge difference- Check out Rode mics, they have many options in all price ranges, There are several other good mic manufacturers. Likewise playing music for your viewers could be improved with quality dual (stereo) mics. See what Ron at New Record Day KZbin channel uses for his sound clips.
