I had a set of Spendor SP1/2Es for several years. Absolutely one of the finest midranges I've heard -- if voice and smaller group or solo unamplified acoustic instruments were your thing, they may be one of the finest speakers out there. Bass was a bit weak, especially if you liked processed or electronic material, but within their element they were fantastic. I only ended up selling them because the wife said the 1970s boxes had to leave our living room. Even though I like my current speakers (Ohm 1000s in my main stereo and GE BRXs in the smaller system), there are days I still miss them.
Spendor Classic 1/2
Good day all. I was ready to finish the interminable speaker search and go with the Devore O93 as the replacement to my trusty SP-1s, when a friend suggested I listen to the Spendor Classic 1/2 ( given how much I have enjoyed the SP1 for 30 years). Of course there is no local dealer who carries the Classic 1/2; though I believe I can hear the Classic 2/3. So has anyone out there had the opportunity to audition either of the newer Spendor Classic line? If so, how do they compare sonically to the old SP-1 or the current Devore O93? Or even the other contenders in my search; Proac D30R or Graham LS5/9 floor. To be used with a leben tube amp ( 32 wpm)
