I decided to pick up a pair of Spendor D7's for right now. I found a really nice pair for less than $4K so I will give these modern boxes a chance.
I have about 200 hours on a new pair of Spendor D9s and am loving the presentation.
Congrats on the D7s! They are a room friendly well-balanced speaker and that is a great price.
I'm D9 owner and am really enjoying them. The Spendor midrange is very pleasing to my ears...
Cheers
