Spendor D9.2 vs. Harbeth super hl5 plus xd + REL Stentor III vs. Spendor Classic 100?

I am thinking of purchasing one of the following:

1). Harbeth SHL5 plus XD + REL Stentor III Reference Subwoofer due to lack of bass and low octave in bass.

2). Spendor Classic 100 - The bass is a bit noticeable and aggressive. 

3). Spendor D9.2.

My living room where the system will stand is: 5.5 meters x 8 meters, a standard ceiling of 2.7 meters and the entire construction is a 20 cm block. From the living room comes a 25 meters kitchen. The speakers I choose can stand up to about 1 meter from the front wall.

Anyone who has heard of at least 2 of them or a previous generation and can have an opinion on a comparison between them?

Thank you very much for your help.

@tomer_tsin,
I’m glad you were able to get some direct listening of the Spendor 9.2. I really believe that the Spendor Classic speakers will match quite well with your current system and your musical taste.

@tomer_tsin,
You have received many well thought out responses.
Given your musical taste (Large CD library of jazz, me to😊)
High quality Luxman and Metronome components (Good taste)
It screams for the Spendor Classic in my humble opinion.

Is it at all possible for you to actually audition or some how hear these contending speakers ? Based on what you wrote, you re searching for it would suggest the Spendor D series. But your music and equipment choices/taste lead me to believe that the Classic is the way to go.
Best of luck to you.
Charles
