I would try to hear both the 3/5 and 3/1 in your room for a comparison. My suspicion is that the 3/1 will have more bass warmth but will be very similar in terms of treble response, as they use the same Scan-Speak tweeter. I've had the 3/1 and the 3/1P (ported) and felt that the former, in a small room, was superior in terms of bass control. All three are fine speakers, and I can say that the hype over Spendors is well-deserved.
Jolida 302B/502B?
Hi,
I've recently decided to get into tube sound and have been told that Jolida is the way to go for a 2500 dollar system.
I am purchasing Spendor 3/5 (or 3/1) speakers when I find a good deal on them. I have tested them (with the 302B) and really like the airy midrange and smooth sound. I listen to classical, classic rock, and eclectic rock (less bass, more vocals). All of which I tested with this setup.
Now my question is: which amp would be better for my situation both musically and financially? Should I try and purchase one which is modded or not?
Also, I am looking at CD players and have been looking formost at the Jolida 100A. Is it worth it to buy the upgraded version? Why do people say you have to have the power supply replaced professionally?
I have pretty much decided on anticables for the speaker connection, but what would you recommend for interconnects?
I appreciate your help in advance.
