B & W 603 S3 $1,000 vs. Spendor 5Se $2,000
both are 2 1/2 way speakers and both have fine reviews. I have the B & W now but want to try something new. Budget only allows spending $2k on new or used speakers. Is the change worth the effort and extra money? I have a new Apollo CD (nice) and plan on acquiring a used Krell 400xi. I want to try a speaker with a fabric dome tweater as opposed to metal. I have not heard the Spendor line but like what I read about the products and the price of the 5Se. I had Magnepans, but can't go this route because of wife. Room is 14' x 20' and opens into other rooms.
