Spatial vs Pure Audio Project

Bensturgeon,
Thank you very much for you detailed reply. It seems Spatial owners love their speakers and Clayton Shaw has a great track record in the industry.  If I go with Spatial I would proably go with the M3 Triode.  Again thanks for your input. Keep them coming Spatial and PAP owners.

Anyone one else with experience with either or both brands and what you liked or disliked about them?

I love my X2s.  They dig deep, and image incredibly, even though my space is less than optimal. 

They were expensive, though - they made me upgrade my 20-year-old DAC and transport, and have my Krell rehabbed.  They made me!  I had no choice! :)

And yes, Mr. Shaw is terrific.

Just pulled the trigger on a pair of M3 Turbo S's. Can wait to experience the open baffle design although I am a bit hesitant with them being so different than a box speaker.
