Anyone with experience with Spendor D9's?


Curious to know... they are Spendor’s modern big boy speaker... I have not heard it. Reviews of course are always suspect and not that informative.

Wondering if there are any owners here or others who have in depth knowledge of how these sound, compared to the usual suspects that would be cross shopped... upper Harbeths, ProAcs, KEFs...

TIA

thanks milpai - sorry i didn’t look at the comments in my system page... the photos are hopelessly outdated but i try to keep some of the components somewhat current

d48r’s were in their usual positions for floorstanders, 30-36 in from both walls

i felt the 48’s boomed a little bit.... i was running the audio research ref 110 at that time... 8x kt120’s have a lil mid bass bloom.. i am pretty sensitive to that... felt the 30’s had less that and also gave the mids and highs a little better focus and imaging with its single mid/bass driver
@milpai

funny you mention proacs, i have d30r's as one set i alternate -- 48’s overloaded my room

yes, well aware... i still have spendor sp1/2’s among several others... and know that the old sound is in their 'classic' series, as it is called now... other series are definitely ’modernized’ in their sound profile

just wondering if the shift in sound palette has gone as far as upper focals, kefs, proacs etc etc which are definitely more lively and more overtly ’hifi’ in presentation
