Are spendor speakers competitive in sound quality to KEF, B&W, ProAC, Audio Physic

 ARE SPENDOR SPEAKERS IN THE SAME LEAGUE AS THE ABOVE BRANDS?. THE COMPANY DOES NOT TO APPEAR TO DO MUCH ADVERTISING, AND THERE ARE FEW REVIEWS OF THEIR PRODUCTS, IN PARTICULAR, THE MODEL A6R

I know from reading reviews, KEF, B&W have changed their house sound, Audio Physic has changed its sound signature but not as dramatically as the former brands indicted.  ProAc and Spendor  are often described as more the traditional BRITISH sound. I have listened to the above three over the years, but never auditioned either the Pro's or the Spendor in a home setting or audio showroom 

Thank you,

S.J.

I think so, yes.

Of course if you are talking about old Spendor models, they are wonderful sounding and many will say they still do some things "better" than many modern competitors.

But in terms of sheer technical prowess, advancements in accuracy, detail, clarity etc, they have been surpassed.

However Spendor hasn't sat on it's hands.  I remember thinking the sound coming from a pair of Spendor D9s (or was it D7?) was among the best at a recent audio show.   Really convincing clarity and timbre with jazz saxophone, drums, sense of drive, etc.
