I’ve owned those Spendors and the larger Harbeth M30. In your size room I would keep the Spendors. BTW, you should stick with the LS3/5a type of speaker. The Harbeth P3ESR is my favorite shoe box size speaker. Here is one of many positive reviews!
directional speakers
I just bought a Bacch4Mac bundle and am thinking of upgrading speakers. Theoretica recommends speakers that are more rather than less directional. I currently have Spendor S3/5r2 speakers. No complaints at all, but I've thought of upgrading to Harbeth 30.2, Graham/Chartwell LS/6 or maybe Fritz Carrera BE. Love the BBC mid-range, but I have no idea of how to find speakers with a tight rather than broad sweet spot. Any advice would be appreciated.

@yogiboy - Sorry, I should have mentioned that my wife graciously suggested that I use our 23'x16'x8' TV room for the audio system and move the TV to the smaller room where the audio system is now. That's why I was thinking of the larger Harbeths. By the way, which version of the P3 do you recommend? I've noticed that there is some difference of opinion on the XD. |
I have owned both. I preferred the non XD! BTW, since you are going to use a larger room the HL5 is the Harbeth I would suggest. I like them so much better than the M30! My buddy owns the M30.1 and loves them. FYI: I have owned every Harbeth minus the M40. I have also owned many Spendors including floorstanders! |
@paradisecom I've actually never heard ML's but will be sure to stop by their room at Axpona. Thanks for the recommendation. @yogiboy Interestingly, the advice I got on the Spendor user's forum is to look into the Graham Chartwell LS6. If I stayed in the Spendor line what would you suggest, one of the Classics? |
