If it's possible for you to audition the Devores I would highly recommend it. I haven't hear the Spendors at all so can't comment on them but I own the Devore 8's and have heard the Super 8's at a local dealer.
The Devores are amazing speakers, I've owned Thiels, two pair of Proacs and Merlins at more or less the same price as the Devores and none of them could compete with the Devores for pure musical enjoyment in my systems, with either solid state or tube amplification.
