The Ribbons sound great, the mid?bass units seem to be coming along slowly. At first I was concerned that this design was overdamped but each time I play them they seem to have a bit more life. I always end up buying floor models so I've never had to "break in" a speaker.
I am very impressed with the build quality.

Anyway, with the Musicap your speaker became lovely sound regenerator. I'll stay with your speaker and when time is right I'll try the upper model. Thanks again

The R630V3 is breaking in fastly.
After replacing the stock ribbon caps to Mundorf Supreme, I hear more details and air.
Also, the woofers are now making deep bass better than they did a week ago.
The imaging gets better after some tuning in the speaker position, but the sweet spot seems to be rather small, less than 50Cm wide.
Any way, I love this speaker, thanks.

I’m up and running. They sound great so far. I am an opera enthusiast and opera is the type of music (I would argue) that most benefits from accurate spacial presentation. On the Newforms good opera recordings (esp the older 1960s and early stereo ones) give a positively spooky sense of space. Sometimes a little too much: sometimes I can hear or imagine I can hear the microphoning arrangement and spot?lighting. Also I am amazed at the quantity and quality of the bass.

Have listened to them for several weeks and like them very much. They are the real deal. Thank you.

With the 630s I seem be getting:

more detail and clearer sound, even at lower volumes
more authority
a better 3D musical image
improved ability to play louder without any loss of quality
a more pleasing sound that can be quite hypnotic and addictive
crisper hand claps and crisper brushes going across cymbals
voices that should be coming from the centre of the tv screen seemed to be more pronounced and easier to hear.
small musical details that I had never noticed before were now making themselves heard
a more effortless listening experience
better sense that some pieces of music consist of multiple layers of sound

These 630 improvements are not minor, they are significant and easy to detect. I am delighted that I decided to make this upgrade.

Love the speakers, the longer they play the more I wish I had gotten them years ago. But years ago you didn't have this version and I prefer the sealed enclosure. I'm amazed at how good the speakers sound. I think you make a great speaker at a bargain price. Not everybody will like the look and I feel sorry for them.

I've had a pair of the new R630v3's for almost 2 months now. Fantastic sound! Bass goes down very low now. Soundstaging and imagery are outstanding. Definitely need to be bi?wired now and need about 50?100 hours burn?in for the speaker to come together but once it does this speaker reaches a new level.
Very happy results.

Glad to hear your show went well. I am amazed more each day on these speakers. Love them.
Thanks
