Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies?

Of late have been eying the Spatial Audio line of open baffle speakers and like what I have seen and read so far.
Now I am extremely happy with my baby Maggies which have easily bested any and all box speakers in my room ( that I can afford anyways!).
So looking for opinions and views from actual owners of said open baffle speakers, what did you change from and what are the real strengths of the Spatials?
Not short of horsepower to feed them even though they do not need much juice by all accounts but you know the old saying, " too much is never enough!"
Thanks in advance.

I am very confident they will bowl me over, fortunately I still have the Maggies to keep me happy for now, which they actually do quite well in my room.
It will be a most interesting comparo!
Not sure as I could handle a wait from December to now......
As some of my posts regarding others may show I have ZERO patience .
LOL.

I have my M3 Turbo S’s on their spikes on a thick rug over a wooden floor on a concrete basement foundation. The important thing is that the compression tweeter is at level for me. I was thinking of resting each speaker on a stone/marble or a hardwood slab, but that would elevate the tweeters.

is there a reason the speaker can’t be tilted up ? Shimmed with plank of wood at 90 degree to the legs to start. Once the right angle is found, go source longer spikes from Bolts Plus that will give you the height you need at the front.

@ct0517 Yes, you can adjust the angular pitch of the speaker by adjusting how deep you sink the spikes into their threads in the stands. I have mine tilted slightly up - like a 3 degree angle
