Spendor D9.2 vs Proac D48r

D series have a long break-in time, for sure. Takes the LPZ tweeters hundreds of hours to settle in. Any opinions formed before that time should be put on hold until the speakers are fully broken in (as with all components).

The Spendor classic series is too warm, mushy and slow for me. The D series hits the sweet spot in speed and transparency with mid-range timbre and sweetness.

An update:  I went with the Spendor D9.2.  I couldn't decide and I got a great deal on a premium finish so I went that route.  So far very happy.  And they don't overpower the room...at all.  In fact initially I  thought the bass was a bit light.  Have about 50 hours on them now and the bass is starting to show up a bit more.  But it is very tight, fast bass.  The mids are glorious and the top end is tremendous too.  A very fast "snappy" speaker.  Very transparent. Looking even more to getting them fully broken in, but very happy so far.  And not overpowering in my 12x15 room in any way.

@dallyd31 ,Congratulations on the new toy! Did they provide you the improvements that you were expecting over the Dynaudio Contour 60?Good to know that they are not overpowering your room. Now simply sit back and enjoy the music!

Thanks milpai.  Yes, these are, so far, exactly what I was after.  Make no mistake, the Contour 60 are fantastic speakers.  The D9.2 are just a bit less relaxed, more snappy and the 60's overpowered my room.  These don't.  Happy so far !
