I've heard both of these speakers in my system and felt that the Spendor, while open and dynamic w/excellent bass, was a bit unkind to digital sources. (The new S series departs from the Spendor Classic series' Scan-Speak D2010s, and this is most likely the reason.) The Sonus Faber seemed more balanced, and I would have probably settled with it.
Spendor S8e vs. Sonus Faber Grand Piano
I'm considering each of these speakers to be used with
a Moon I-5LE in a 10x13 room. I auditioned the Spendor briefly in my room but not the Sonus.My music taste varies from jazz to classic rock to acoustic folk music. Any input on this would be very helpful. Thanks, Tom
