Spendor S3/5 standard vs “SE” version????


Hello,
I have read that the S3/5SE's are more analytical than the standard (non-SE) version. Is that true? If so, is that bad? Has somebody compared these two? Which one is more musically satisfaying?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Gunbei, thanks for the input. Unfortunately there is no Spendor dealer near me.

I want to replace my Nautilus 805's which I find very bright (razor sharp quality) and unforgiving in my small room (9.4'x 15'x8'). On the other hand I would not like the sound to be too polite and slow.

Do you think the S3/5 SE's are as bright as the N805's? Did you find the S3/5 boring or slow?

I have:
Musical Fidelity A300 int.amp.
Musical Fidelity A3CD (transport) + Belca Canto DAC2
Analysis Plus cables/interconects.

Thanks.
