Spendor D7
I use a Leben cs 600 amplifier which apparently is one of Devores favorites.  I believe the Leben works well with the Devore O series, I am not sure how it fares with the Gibbons- but will find out shortly.  The room is 19 by 16 with an adjacent k... 
Spendor D7
I don't think the side firing would work; but thanks for the recommendation.  I also am limiting my search to speakers I can audition at home; which greatly limits my search as there are few dealers in RI.  I was very close to buying AudioNote AN-...

Are you a dealer of Spendor? 
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, ...
