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’ve been a major fan of British speakers for many decades.  Spendors “house” sound is lush and lovely.  I have two pair of their ls35a’s as well as an older SP1 that I still use on a daily basis in a second system.
Ran Proac response 2.5 as well.  I have heard the newer house sound on B&W as well as KEF.  While quite nice I do prefer Spendor and/or Proac.  They are every bit as good and possibly better than the others.  Harbeth is also a major contender.  More like Spendor than the others......I love the SLH5 plus......
But you must hear for yourself.
