Speaker Placement Problem
Spendor 3/5'S they are a sealed system no ports. 
Too much power for Spendor S3/5?
I have the Spendors and used with 200 watt solid state and 50 watt tube,they are a great speaker,enjoy them and don't worry. 
Favourite Vinyl female and male vocals
Rickie Lee Jones Traffic From Paradise blows me away every time I spin it! 
Will I benefit with 20 or 15 amp dedicated lines
I can't understand why you need a 20 amp when your gear only uses about 500 watts. 1 amp= 110 watts so a 15 amp circuit is about 1700 watts; a 20 amp is about 2200 watts, it is like using a 5 amp fuse when you need a 1 amp fuse. You are better off...

A 15 amp is plenty,you will never need a 20 amp it would be total overkill,a 15 amp is the correct type for your gear. 
Fullrange Speaker for Quicksilver Silver 70's
I have those amps and used them with spendor S8E's with great results,I now have them mated with spendor SA1's only because I like a smaller type speaker in my room and they go great together.I use el34 tubes in my amps not kt88's.Check out spendo... 
Upgrade from Spendor SP 1/2, what's next?
I had the 3/5R's using 50 watt tube amps they have a big sound and placement is not an issue they are a sealed type which I always prefer to ported.Check them out I think you will like these very much. 
1K used monitor with wide/uniform dispersion
You will also need stands,target makes real nice ones that go great with spendors for under $300.00 so this will bring you in under budget. 
1K used monitor with wide/uniform dispersion
Spendor 3/5'S you want midrange that's the ticket,should be about $600.00 used. 
Upgrade from Spendor SP 1/2, what's next?
Hi,My room is about the same size,I have owned many spendors including floor standing,S8e's,S6e's,etc.I like the S3/5R's better than any floor standing speaker in my room,remember small room small speaker. 
low phono output, high c/d output-what gives?
Easy fix you need to put in line attenuators between your cd player and amp parts express sells Harrison attenuatorsthey come with different levels try the 12db ones if that is too much exchange them for the 6db ones,this should match your levels ... 
Lacking Soundstage - Vandersteen 2C
Hi Livin,No, you should start by putting a book under the front to raise, then add another if needed till you get the sound you like. I had to tilt any Vandersteens I have ever owned. The closer you are the more tilt. I hope it works for you. I go... 
Lacking Soundstage - Vandersteen 2C
Had them years ago,tilt them otherwise they sound terrible. 
Sealed Monitor Speakers
Spendor 3/5's are a great sealed speaker,I own them. 
Which attenuators do I want to use?
I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM,INSTEAD OF TRYING DIFFERENT ATTENUATORS I BOUGHT A RICHARD LEE PASSIVE PREAMP AND I PUT IT BETWEEN MY TUNER AND PREAMP,IT HAS A VOLUME CONTROL SO YOU CAN AJUST IT TO WHAT VOLUME YOU LIKE.NO MORE GUESSING ON WHAT TYPE OF ATTE...
