My New Review of the Spatial Hologram M4 Open Baffle Speaker

Wonderful review rebbi. 
I entertained the notion of getting a pair of Spatials about a year ago. Owning a pair of semi-open baffle Tonian Labs TL-D1s makes it easy to relate to what you hear with your Spatials. There's definitely something going on with open baffle designs that makes listening less a chore and more a pleasure.

All the best,

Cool rebbi. Thanks for the detailed review of it's musicality.

Thanks so much for the kind feedback. I really enjoyed writing it.

I love that the Spatials use two 12" bass drivers, are open baffle, use a concentric mounted compression driver, and are comparably efficient as a result. Seems like a nicely thought out design compatible with most amps and worth hearing.

I recall the DIYers at an audio show a few years back demoed much smaller home made open baffle speakers made from a couple hundred dollars worth of parts that was one of the most uniquely engaging sounds at the show. They sat just above floor level for bass reinforcement and with open baffle angled slightly up for high frequencies. Very unconventional yet practical and delivered the goods! The big name high priced dealers there must have hated that room.

It re-confirmed to me what I always thought that with just a bit of out-of the-box thinking, things need not be massive and uber expensive to sound great.
