helomech,I must say you found a real gem of a dealer.Do I understand this correct? He ships new speakers to you,lets you try them out,then takes the returned speakers and has to resell them as used? Can you please share with me who this dealer is?...

Harbeth C7ES3 vs Spendor SP2/3R2
helomech,I bought a pair of C7’s used , they were well broken in. I had the same problem with them lacking bass. I had them set up for nearfield listening. What size room are they in? I think that if the room is not that large you would be better ...
