I bought a demo pair with stands from a dealer in my area last year and love them. They do everything extremely well with no listener fatigue ever. Maybe not headbanger speakers but I do listen to a good deal of album rock on them. Outstanding on acoustical music of course, and spooky good imaging on ambient. No buyers remorse here.
Thoughts and experiences on the Spendor SP100 R2
Seeking input from knowledgeable folks who have had or heard the large Spendor SP100 R2 speakers, or their predecessors or successors. I have had smaller Spendor SP2/2’s in the past, really enjoy their excellent mature sound, nothing flashy but sounds very real and easy to listen to. Currently have the Epos M22 three way floor standers driven by a Naim Nait XS2 integrated. I know the Spendor S100 series of large-box 3 ways have been the top of line model for the ’classic’ line, which they have continued to manufacture since a long long way back. I guess they have periodically updated the speaker.
I would appreciate input on these speakers (there is a very nice condition set I can purchase used from the owner locally) and how they might compare to larger Harbeths, ATCs, Grahams, Wharfedales, even Devores and Klipsch’s (in the $6000-10,000 per pair range).
Also any input on suitable amp power and type to drive these Spendors would also be of help.
