Re: A Space in Time
Having lived with the A3's for four years. I'm curious as to the newest driver/cabinet designs improvements and how the S3 works in my space. I'll post a photo after setup.

Re: A Space in Time
I have enjoyed every minute I’ve had with the A5 but the S3 2023 a league beyond IMO.

Re: A Space in Time
Just went with the black. Any other color I felt might take longer than I wanted to wait. I was told the built time would be 7-14 days and it turned out to be around 10 days from the order date.

Re: A Space in Time
A little late to post a picture of my new S3's. I'll get to that tomorrow. But, first impression can be summed up with on word.
Stunning!

Re: A Space in Time
Saturday was a day of listening, measuring, adjusting. With some adding and subtracting. Just thought I'd turn on the subs to see and hear their connection with the S3's. It didn't take but a few minutes to realize that all they could do was muddy up the music. The S3 drivers are just in a different class.
