Spendor A6 vs Harbeth Compact 7ES-3

There's that "music specific" thing again…ahem...classical and jazz can be as kick butt and dynamic as ANY music anywhere, and it's only loudness (controllable) ability that differs among speakers, and that has more to do with amp choice. A great sounding system can play anything well…or it's not so great.

Any good sounding speakers with one or two musical subs can reproduce anything well. My perfect Silverline Preludes cost 400 bucks used a few years ago, both my mint condition REL subs were bought used for 200 bucks each, lots of used cables and cables I’ve assembled (shrink wrap…love that stuff), tube amp bought new (factory modded Jolida 502p…1200 bucks or something 5 years ago), etc, etc. My system sounds amazing loud, soft, playing jazz trios, loud kick drum, Billy Gibbons, pink noise, white noise, utter silence, Bulgarian Death Mumble-core, gigantic orchestral bombast, solo mandolin, and possibly banjo but I’ve never tried that (wait...Fleck…I guess I have tried that…).
