Spendor speakers
I have had the mini-monitor SA1's in my BR system for the past few years and adore them. Expensive but extremely sophistictaed and accomplished little devils.Before then, I had SP2/1's, S3/5's and then S3/5R's. Any time I have sold my Spendors I r...

Bryston BDP Digital Player - MPaD Application

Are you still playing CDs after, comp based syst?
