A local hobbiest friend has a pair of Spendor 1/2s in a very small space, and I've been impressed with their sound and imaging. I have been surprised, however, by the vibration you can feel on the sides of the cabinets even at moderate levels. IIRC, they sit of Sound Anchor stands, and last I heard they were driven by a SS TRL amp, a big improvement in transparency and openess over the many tubed Cary he previously used.
