I still listen to my first Spendor BC-1's circa 1982. I also have Spendor S3/5As and S-9s. I'm a Spendor guy. Always have been. Having said that, I think Harbeth makes a more accurate and musical speaker these days. I haven't heard a D series Spendor that I thought was better or even the equal of the old Spencer Hughes days. If I was in the market for a new loudspeaker system, Harbeth would be my choice hands down. FWIW.
For reference, my system is all Audio Research tubes driven by a Koetsu on a Sondek table.
