Hello Troels, 
I wanted give my feedback about your design.
I have a small dedicated room for my music system. It is hard for me to use any speaker in this 12sqm space with not so high ceiling. 
It took me some time to choose the right one for my needs:
Deep sound stage with layered instruments playing closer to the listenner than the vocals.
And this is what I got with Satoris. Very realistic representation of human voices is giving me shivers even though they are running since 50-60 hours only.
Even though my room has enough aborbancy potential through treatments, I had to use some dsp via my streamer for the bass produced by SBA-MTM16s.
I am quite satisfied with the performance for now and expect to hear their full performance in couple of weeks
Best regards/
Berat

 

Dec 2022:

Hello Troels,
After months of listenning to fabric dome tweeters and playing around with the resistors (2,2/2,7 ohms) I found out that I was still missing some air and  some more clarity on the higher end, so I decided to invest on Beryllium version of the SB tweeters ( as no change to crossover is needed, it was a quick fix actually).
Although it is a big investment compared to the original cost of the MTM 16 design, the result left me speechless.
I have faced a whole different ball game from the moment I plugged in the speaker cables and I am still amazed by the transformation of “already very good” speakers in to “amazing” speakers.
Supported by 2 subwoofers, i am having the full experience at my listenning room and I cannot stop coming back there to listen over and over to the same records just to discover nuances that weren’t there…
For my taste, expectations and budget this is as good as it could get…
Hats off to Troels…
