| Compare/Contrast Spendor Classic vs. Harbeth speakers Quoting myself from a few other threads: Between my SP2/3R2 and my Harbeth M30.2 (now sold) I prefer the former. Warmer, more exuberant, joyful or friendly I would say, with better lit mids, nice highs, bigger sound and in most cases I prefer ... | |
| Sonus faber choices - help me decide curious how do you find the bass once the speakers are broken in, please share your impressions | |
| Sonus faber choices - help me decide The Sonus Faber’s I’ve heard were driven by Accuphase amps, for what it’s worth. Pricey, I know... It depends a lot not only on the budget and synergy, but also on your priorities in terms of sound. For example, I value tone and timbre very highly... | |
| Sonus faber choices - help me decide Please report your impressions on the V's after you get them (and after the burn in). I don't know about the newer Amati speakers, but I can tell you there is a huge difference in scale between the Amati Futura and the Nova II. Nova V might be a ... | |
| Sonus faber choices - help me decide I've heard both the Amati Futura and the Olympica Nova 2. The former was the most astonishing audio experience I've had, beyond marvelous, but the electronics were a lot of money too (like 35000 - 40000 Euro retail in total). I mean no offense, bu... | |
| Anthem ARC and Subwoofers - A quick review I have a pair of Martin Logan 11A. I might be in a minority here but I didn't like what the ARC room correction did to the dynamics or overall tonal balance: bass became much too rounded, with an almost nonexistant leading edge or tactility and ge... | |
| Martin Logan Expression 13 - setup question I also have a pair of Impression 11A's in a 12/14 feet room connected to another small 12 / 3 feet space. The speakers are placed on the long wall and the back driver is about 20 cm (8 inches) away from wall. Absorption on this wall is crucial, no... | |
| Thoughts and experiences on the Spendor SP100 R2 Thank you both, very useful to me. So, SP100R2 won't bring additional bass slam, just extension, right? I've heard the Classic 100 but I think the positioning in the room was unfortunate or maybe it was simply a bad room as the bass extension suff... | |
| Thoughts and experiences on the Spendor SP100 R2 How about a comparison to their lesser siblings? I hope this will not feel like derailing the thread. I'm thinking about upgrading from the SP2/3R2, which I love, to the SP100R2, but I couldn't find a single comparison between them. Should I expec... | |
| Warm romantic & detailed @ jjss491 : wow! You have 9 pairs of speakers, 8 of which are interesting to me! Could you please share what models of Spendor, Harbeth and Proac do you own? I own a pair of Spendor Sp2/3R2, some Harbeth M30.2 Anniversary and I'm considering some... | |
| Spendor Classic 1/2 Well, not much interest shown so I'll be short. They are amazing. The acoustic instruments are incredibly realistic - great tone and timbre. Piano is great, violin is great, acoustic guitar is astonishing. Very musical and inviting midrange. Low e... | |
| Electrostatic Speakers Hi @joeldi! What are you driving your Impression 11's with? | |
| Best Speaker for classical music I've heard some Sonus Faber Amati Futura with expensive Accuphase and Luxman gear and they were excellent for orchestral music. The midrange in particular was stupendous in terms of natural timbres and realism. | |
| Spendor Classic 1/2 I've just bought a used pair of Spendor SP2/3R2 - the model that charmed me a couple of years ago. Actually, they might be the very same speakers I auditioned! Tomorrow I'll get to hear them again - can't wait! I'll post impressions if anyone is i... | |
| Spendor Classic 1/2 My comments on Classic 100 and A7, recently posted in another thread: I’ve recently had the chance to listen to a pair of Classic 100 paired with some lower end Naim gear but also with my own Audio Analogue Maestro Anniversary integrated amplifi... |
