JBL 4367's in my listening room

[Mr Peabody]

I don't remember if I made this note in my show report, I noticed vocals on the Spacial sounded off to me, not quite as I remember them on familiar songs. At shows though it could be the source or the crossovers needing a tweak. I'd say just try to get a good audition or return window.

It's cool how they use the slots in the baffle as a natural crossover for the woofer.

That is weird that the vocals sounded off since they are such a simple design with non exotic components for the most part, but you are right it really could have been the source, room, or something else since I have heard many others online say that they love the presentation heard from them. I know that they have a 60 day in home trial period so that you have time to break them in and really give them a try. I am glad that they offer it since they are a design that is a complete departure from any other that I have tried or worked with in the past. I'm surprised that with all of you guys going to shows at times that more of you have not head them or have an opinion. Its not a done deal yet and there will be time to look at other options or change my mind but I do love the fact that there is no enclosure to add bad resonance sounds to the room and the fact that the design allows for a more spacious sound stage and most of the people online that have spoke about the Spatials have said that their since of reality is real good which is what I am in to

M3 Turbo S, huh? I wonder if BMW or Porsche's trademark attorney's have had a gander at this company? LOL!

Interesting concept, the "specially treated titanium compression drivers" sound a lot like the Aquaplas treated JBL drivers. I wonder what manufacturer they use? I have never heard these, but can say I have yet to meet an open baffle speaker that would find a place in my house, especially in the ginormous room they would have to go in. Just not my cup o' tea. With a 60 day trial period, why not give 'em a whirl?

[harley .guy07]

Yeah the name is kind of weird with the car name drops and such! I know that the woofers are made for them by Eminence to Spatials specs but not sure about the Compression drivers, I heard that B & C speakers out of Italy are who makes them again to Spatials specs but not sure about that. In regards to the big room they would need I guess the designer Clayton Shaw has been working with open baffle designs for ever and have perfected them to work in almost any size of room and with no eq,DSP, of add ons needed. I think I am going to start my new job and get that going and then start looking seriously at which speakers I will go with then. Like I said it might be those or I might see something else in the mean time or continue to look at building my own but the longer I search the lazier I get in regards to building a pair.

[Mr Peabody]

It's an eminence front............

[Mr Peabody]

Harley, a correction, it was Emerald Physics I heard at the show. To my knowledge I've not heard Spacial Audio.

TS, I used to not be that crazy about open baffle but Legacy changed my mind on that, and the Emeral Physics as well.

[harley .guy07]

Yeah I am really thinking about it. Clayton Shaw is a guy from Emerald Physics that chose to go off and do his own thing. I am real interested in the fact that the design is rather simple but people seem to like it. I am really interested in the simplicity of the design but like I said there are a lot of options and I am not sure what I will do at this point. The Dynaudios are great but I can hear their weaknesses every time I hear them and it is getting to me
