More Devore vs Proac questions (super 9 vs D30RS)
Hi Prof,The difference was quite striking.  After listening to the 9s the O93s actually sounded a bit muffled on the high end.  The voicing on the 9s was much more natural sounding.  When I went back to O93 they sounded rather pedestrian.  Next st... 
Proac D30R vs Devore O93
Thanks for your thoughts.  I do plan to audition the Proac with my amplifier before making a decision.M 
Devore O93 vs Super 9s
I don't recall what the dealer used recently: I believe it was Shindo preamp with a solid state amplifier ( don't recall the name).  I have a Leben which I have heard matches well with the Devore speakers. 
Devore O93 vs Super 9s
Yes, I wonder too why the excitement doesn't follow me home.  I have a great local dealer and I plan to eventually do a home demo.  By the way how big is your room?  My is 19 x 15 but is adjacent to more open space ( i.e. the kitchen- you know the...

Proac D30RS vs. Spendor Classic 1/2 (or maybe Harbeth SHL5+)?
I have been looking into replacing / upgrading my Spendor SP1 circa 1988.  It has been very daunting finding the right speaker to fill its shoes.  The SP 1 particularly with the right amplifier has a tone that cannot be met.  If you favor the auth...

Will take a look; how would you describe the tonal qualities of your argos? 
Spendor D7, D9 but no love Classic 100?
I recently auditioned the A7.  I have a pair of SP1 at home and found the A7 much more dynamic, but lacking the sweet golden tone of the SP1.  I have found the SP1 very much dependent on amplifiers.  Originally ran it with a Harman Kardan and its ... 
Leben CS 600 and Harbeth vs Audio Note vs ATC vs JM Reynaud
I saw your post.  Interestingly I am trying to upgrade my Spendor SP-1s from 1988.  I heard the A7 but found it a little sparse, though more dynamic than the SP1s.  It did not have the magical mid range.  I would be interested in the Classic 100, ... 
Sonist Concerto 4 Gen 2 Speaker
I just read about the Sonist speakers; they sound too good to be true.  I am looking to update my vintage Spendor SP-1 to use with a Leben tube amplifier.  I am looking for a detailed but warm sound as my room is a bit bright.  Also looking at Spe... 
Sonist Concerto 4
Thanks for the insight.I am going to do a home demo; will let you know how it goes.M 
Audio Doctor goes to Axpona observations so far
Did you wander upon either the PranaFidelity room or Sonist?  Both are mid-priced speakers with good reviews online.  Wonder if you had any direct experience with them.ThanksMP 
Zu audio Soul Supreme vs Prana Fidelity Bhava
Sounds good ( no pun intended).  Have you heard the bhava ?  If so does it have enough bass?ThanksMike 
Zu audio Soul Supreme vs Prana Fidelity Bhava
MI appreciate your comments.  How do you reconcile the Herb Reichert review of the Soul Supreme and the measurements reported?  It would seem to be a bit of a disconnect.M
