If you only have the space for 1 keep the Spendors. They are a bit more versatile, and should sound better on most songs. However with the right song, panels can do magic no box speaker will match. I'd do my best to keep both since they are very different speakers. I've got a box/horn (Dynaudio/Klipsch) pairing myself. One in the bedroom and the other in the living room.
Which to keep! Pick one of these two soeakers
Sorry about the typo in the title, I have two sets of speakers and I need to sell one. Of these two, which would you keep or which would you be more likely to consider a better choice? I’ve been running the Spendors for a while and they are very good, very transparent and I’d say their weakness is that they lack low end but I run a sub so it hasn’t been an issue. I just got the ML Ascent’s in a bundle buy of equipment and I’m really liking the looks of them in my space but I am still sure about how flat they are sonically or if they are as good as my Spendors. I’m having a hard time deciding.
