Any opinions on a possible switch from Von Schweikert VR-1 to Spendor SA1 speakers?

I am currently using Von Schweikert VR-1 speakers. I like them, but don't love them, and there is a pair of Spendor SA1 available near me here in Portugal.

My listening space is smallish and fairly shallow, and hard floors abound. I am powering the system with a recently refreshed Accuphase E-303 integrated, which I like very much.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Tony C.

I’ve owned many Spendors over the years. The only Spendor I did not like was the SA1. It was way too bright for my taste. I can’t comment on the VR-1 having never heard it! If you like a speaker that is on the bright side you just might like the SA1.

If you are looking for a stand mounted type for a small room you can't go wrong with the  Harbeth P3ESR. The Spendor 3/5R is also one to put on your list. I have owned both of these and I can recommend either one. Both of these are a sealed two way and placement is not that critical.
