Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+

100% agreed with you!

I heard D9 on Montreal Audio Fest with Chord amplifiers.
The sound was horrible, scratchy, bright, unmusical.
People entered into this room and nobody can stay there more than 2 minutes!!!
But I am curious - was it because amplifier or it is a normal sound of these speakers?

Here is some my thinking out load.
Most of people use speakers with modern sharp tweeters like Beryllium or LPZ use
transistor amplifiers with a deep general feedback. These amplifiers had a big amount of high order distortion that sharp tweeters highlight. 

So, the speakers with Beryllium or LPZ tweeters should sound much better with tubes or transistor amplifiers with low level of high order distortion (like amplifiers designed Nelson Pass).

Hi @ddafoe ,

In contrast to professional reviewers like Art Dudley I get zero income from my masages on this forum :-)
If you a professional a reviewer you can’t afford yourself to criticize directly as I do.
