The build quality of the baffle is very good on my M4 speakers however they do not have a glossy piano finish. They are flat black, which I prefer. I can't comment on the crossover quality as it is internal to the speaker. If you go to Spatial's w...

The M4 Triode Masters used to be listed on Spatial Audio's website as an upgrade to the Turbo S. They were listed as $3,000 per pair which is what I paid for mine. They have changed the website since I bought mine and don't show them as an upgrade...

Spatial Audio Hologram M4 Turbo S Speakers - A Review
I will second everything whitestix  has said. I own the M4 TM's and initially tried them with a Cary Rocket 88 tube amp and an Audible Illusions L1 tube preamp. The tube amp was a factory certified preowned unit from Cary that I had just purchased... 
What solid amp to pair with DiaLogue Premium Preamplifier ?
I recently purchased a CODA Technologies 10.5R (discontinued model) that I use with an Audible Illusions tubed preamp. To my ears it sounds fantastic and is very well built. It is 100 watts with the first 25 watts in Class A. I would highly recomm...

If you want to continue to use your tuner you can get a Whole House fm transmitter and connect it to the audio out on your computer or go from your computer to a DAC to the fm transmitter. I have had one for a few months and it works great. Howeve...

For all you guys with a tuner and nothing worth listening to, spend a hundred bucks on a whole house fm transmitter and connect it to your computer. I just did and it is great. I hooked up with Shoutcast on the internet and they have thousands of ... 
HELP Dahlquist afficionados needed.........
I have my DQ-20's about 35" from the back wall just because I have the room but the owner's manual says they should be "at least a foot from any wall." So it seem's they should work OK. They are approx. 12" deep so you would need to take that into...
