Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+

Anyone who has heard both? Comparisons? I own the Harbeth. Curious about the difference with the Spendor. What brand and type of amp used. Thanks!

Landed up getting the D9s. While these were breaking in I noticed some unwanted brightness on the high end. Tried different sources and amps before getting a Pass Labs XA30.8 and could not be happier...

One’s system is just that: a system with different components. Then there is the room which is a vital factor. How loud do enjoy your music? One steady volume is much easier than using a wide range. Some speakers/systems sound great at 80 dbls but sound pale at low volumes. Then there is the music: some recordings will just sound bad on certain systems and speakers. Only you can figure this out at home...
