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.

Hello

I listen to 2,000 CD’S, most of them jazz. In addition, I have an integrated amplifier Luxman L-509X and a CD player LE PLAYER 3+ by Métronome.


I prefer precise and high resolution speakers that have control low bass-smooth midrange-detailed treble, with internal imagery and attacks, high-pitched sound and instrument simulation.

Hello Normans,

thank you very much for the quick answer.

Regarding the Herbets speakers...I had a Rel Stantor III 20 years ago and it was excellent. As mentioned, I'm not a "bass head" type, a little extra bass is enough for me.

The Rel Stentor III offered to me is externally and internally 10/10 and an opportunity financially. In the past, Rel was considered very good musically, today a little less, what do you think?

I accept the fact that the Spendor Classic 100 needs real estate / air to breathe, do not know if 1 meter will suffice?
Not sure it will fit properly in my living room and a little skeptical about it.

Hello everyone,

Let me thank you all, your advice is very helpful, even though I have received diverse and conflicting opinions from each other - that's fine.

I listened neatly twice to the new model for the Harbeth SHL5plus XD, twice for the outgoing model Harbeth Super HL5 plus 40th Anniversary and several times for the Spendor D9.2. I did not listen neatly to the harbeth M40.3 xd (new) and the Spendor Classic 100.

Today I listened to the Spandor 9.2 and its twitter sounds a bit slightly sandy-grained to me, if a little more energy than desired, so... the speakers right now are the Spandor Classic 100.

I spoke and received a warm recommendation on PIEGA 711 What do you think?

Hello everyone,

Thanks to everyone for the effort, it is not understood by me.

I’m currently staying with the Spendor Classic 100 maybe the TI.

I understand that stands matter, should you go for the original (terribly expensive)?

Be honest with those who have the Classic 100 (important), can you recommend better speakers up to $13,000-12,000, I would love to hear?

Helio everyone,

Thanks to everyone who answered I really appreciate it.

I would love to hear the opinions of those who have heard or those who have purchased the Spendor Classic 100?

Same as Piega COAX 711?
