I am almost ashamed to say I think I may have buyers remorse. It ain't the money, although saving money is always better. It's the sound! I am simply not hearing what I heard in my Ascent i's with my Spires. I cannot seem to get there with the sound either, no matter where I position them or where I sit.
My room is bigger, 19.5'W x 23.5'D x 8.5'H vs 11.5'W x 19.5'D x 8.5'H. 8' wider and 4' deeper with much more space to work with.
I cannot seem to get the ultra wide and deep soundstage that I was getting previously in the smaller room.
I now believe I maybe should have gone with the ReQuests instead of the Spires.
I do not quite understand how the Spire panels are supposed to be so much better. 30° dispersion on a 12.5" wide panel on a 59" tall speaker vs 30° dispersion on an 18" wide panel with a height of 71". How exactly does ML defy logic and say the Spires have a larger sweet spot? This is not a sarcastic question, btw. It seems to me that the taller and wider panel is going to give a wider sweet spot as well as present a wider, deeper and taller sound stage. I am curious to your thoughts.
