There are many speakers out there that are really good. The Spendor S20 was one of my favorite of the bookshelf series. Excellent timing,pace and rhythm. I listened to them on a Naim Nait integrated amp with a VPI TT and a
Rotel CD Player. It was some of the best sounds I had heard at the time. The speaker cable was Kimber 4tc. They don't have a lot of bass. And understand that the original S20 is from the early 90's.

I haven't heard any of the latest series but I can say you don't want the FL series from what I have been told. If they sound anything like I remember you will be happy if you are on a budget. There are other speakers you need to check out. but it depends on your price range. And if you want them to blend in with a subwoofer. The Spendors will sound good with solid state and tubes. There are many speakers out there that don't sound good with tubes. What amp are you going to use? Wht other gear will you be using?
