Performer-in-Room Quality with Speakers?
I have a pair  of rebuilt Quad esl57.  They were rebuilt by Wayne Piquet, and sound so realistic, that I can almost see the vocalist in front of me.  Require absolutely no maintenance, and have never failed to please.I have much more "modern" desi...

Your requested specifics on Spendor SP1:1.  Thin walls but solid.  Fine workmanship.  Mine still look great.2.  Extremely natural realistic presentation.  Vocals are marvelous.3.  No brightness.  Leans towards warm, musical with sufficient detail....

Can't comment on all - but I do own and continue to use a pair of Spendor SP1 in my second system.  I recently set them up after a number of years in storage.They are absolutely wonderful.  A full, rich musical presentation that I can listen to fo... 
What vintage speaker might you use today
Just can't seem to stop listening to my Quad ESL57 rebuilt by Wayne.I have much more current speakers in my closet that just don't give me the pleasure of this vintage design.  They are just wonderful!One of these days should probably sell the rest.

Dynaudio Confidence C1
Can't imagine them sounding harsh. A very musical forgiving speaker. 
Upgrade from Proac Response 1SC?
I have a pair of near mint Proac Response 2.5 sitting in a closet in burr oak that I might consider selling. Since buying a refurbished pair of Quad esl57 I just don't use the Proac's anymore. A good home for them would be nice, since they were so...

The best speaker you ever heard?
Interesting comments regarding Quads.I have a pair of ESL57 refurbished by Wayne Piquet, and they are truly stunning. More than enough bass to satisfy my love of Jazz, Classical, etc. Even Prince sounds majestic through these. The realism of vocal... 
I would love some suggestions on great acoustic...

Speakers that turn your analytical mind off?
Quad ESL57 replaced my Dynaudio C1 Sig.Am now soaked in the music pretty much regardless of recording.
