Are spendor speakers competitive in sound quality to KEF, B&W, ProAC, Audio Physic

 ARE SPENDOR SPEAKERS IN THE SAME LEAGUE AS THE ABOVE BRANDS?. THE COMPANY DOES NOT TO APPEAR TO DO MUCH ADVERTISING, AND THERE ARE FEW REVIEWS OF THEIR PRODUCTS, IN PARTICULAR, THE MODEL A6R

I know from reading reviews, KEF, B&W have changed their house sound, Audio Physic has changed its sound signature but not as dramatically as the former brands indicted.  ProAc and Spendor  are often described as more the traditional BRITISH sound. I have listened to the above three over the years, but never auditioned either the Pro's or the Spendor in a home setting or audio showroom 

Thank you,

S.J.

Yup, they have always made an easy to listen to speaker.  Great minds like the harbeth's and a bit on the sweet side of things. I was a long time Proac owner until I went with the Vandy's, but I have enjoyed both Harbeth and Spendors for that luscious mid range.  Not the last word in extension on either end and they don't throw the largest soundstage, but who cares if that's the sound you are looking for.

Spendor has a new US distributor. Bluebird is out and Sound Organization is now handling the account. They also distribute Fyne, ProAc, Rega, and Chord. They are located in Texas.

Have a pair of the Classic 100 on order....traded my Joseph Audio Pearls for them which are too large for my listening space.
   Would never lump Spendor in with Kef/B+W....More like Graham/Stirling/Harbeth. Proac's I have heard are "hotter" in the treble.  Harbeth 40's have MUCH more bass than the Spendor 100's so the 40's wont work in my room.
