| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @prof: I find this quite surprising. I have listened to the previous generation Spendor Classic series in the SP2/3R2 speakers and it looks the same (I'm pretty sure it's actually the same) and to my ears sounded quite the similar to tweeter in th... | |
| Proac D30RS vs. Spendor Classic 1/2 (or maybe Harbeth SHL5+)? I know they are inferior, but this is what I can audition. I hope that, having heard the D48R and D20R, I'll have a better idea about the D30RS' sound, especially the tonality or "house sound". You've been a great help and I don't want to abuse yo... | |
| Proac D30RS vs. Spendor Classic 1/2 (or maybe Harbeth SHL5+)? I see, thanks a lot for the explanation! Sound very promising. What amplifier are you using with them? I'm really tempted. I'll listen to the supposedly much inferior D20R in a few days. I have high hopes (but if I go for Proac, it will definitely... | |
| Proac D30RS vs. Spendor Classic 1/2 (or maybe Harbeth SHL5+)? Thank you for your reply, I appreciate your input here and in another thread! What you are writing seems very promising and matches the first impression I have about their larger sibling, the D48R. What did you like about the D30RS more compare... | |
| Proac D30RS vs. Spendor Classic 1/2 (or maybe Harbeth SHL5+)? @audioconnection: Thanks for the suggestions, a bit too rich for my blood I'm afraid and I cannot hear these amplifiers before buying either. They definitely look like a quality proposition, though! @donvito: Several reasons: I heard the previous ... | |
| Harbeth Super HL5+...thoughts Anyone compared them with the current Spendor Classic series, their natural competitor? Very interested in the Classic 1/2, asked about them in another thread but no luck so far... | |
| The New Spendor Classic 1/2 Since someone just mentioned this thread... still nobody around here has heard the Classic 1/2? | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 I’m afraid it’s a closed room. Not sure what is the significance in this context of the fact that the D48R is easy to drive. Isn’t it a matter of too much bass extension, exciting some room modes (say, below 30 Hz) that other less extended speaker... | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 I did listen to Harbeth 30.2, but it was with an amplifier I believe was not up to the task, a Sugden A21SE that seemed underpowered to me and an accompanying friend. I want something more dynamic and with much better low frequency extension. I li... | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 Thank you very much guys for answering so quickly! I can say that the larger speakers get the sound "closer" to the original. But one thing to remember is - for a piano recording to sound "like a real piano" on a large loudspeaker, you need to pr... | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 Between the Spendor D7 / D9 and Proac D30RS / D48R, which one does piano timbre better? I'm allergic to hearing a piano reproduction that (given a good quality recording) does not easily, clearly and immediately tells me, even if I'm not paying m... | |
| Spendor D7, D9 but no love Classic 100? I see plenty of recommendations floating around recent threads for the D7 and D9, but nary a mention of the Classic 100. I wonder why. Are no dealers stocking it for demo? ...and as for the new 2/3 and 1/2 (the later looking especially inter... | |
| Yggdrasil or iFi pro dac Was it properly burned in and warmed up (which, by the common knowledge, means "on" all the time at least for the past few weeks)?What did you replace it with? I got rid of it's smaller brother, the Gungnir multibit (last, unofficial "A2" iteratio... | |
| Spender classic 1/2 vs SP1 I’ve only heard the SP2/3R2 and it was instant love! As for the Chinese review, I used the Google translator...@ roxy54: Are you talking about the old 1/2 with 2 tweeters or the new 3 way one? | |
| Spender classic 1/2 vs SP1 Umm... what online reviews? I could only find this: http://famous-av.com/?p=1350 and also there's a discussion on another Australian forum, I don't know if it's appropriate to post the link but you can easily find it, with some interesting comment... |
