Spendor SP3/1P vs. Monitor Audio GR 10?


I've auditioned both- they seem VERY close in qualities. Different dealers so I couldn't do an "A/B" compare.

Really like the cabinetry on the Spendors (and of course sound)-GR 10s SEEM to have a little more bass-cabinetry is so so at best. Didn't care for the B & Ws compared to the GR 10s in an A/B listen.

Considering a used pair of Tyler "tylos", but haven't heard them.

Got a vote? I'd appreciate your input!

Thanks!

I had the 3/1p for about 2 years, now using the S3/5 smaller spendors.

Hard to go wrong with the 3/1p ! I cant comment on this particular MA speaker but in the past years, I find their metallic tweeters to be a bit "hot" and "bright" for my taste so i never considered them.

Definitely the Spendors 3/1p are the way to go or if you can live without the bass but more accurate sound, the S3/5 on a Sound Anchors 24" stands would be the way to go.

Cheers,

I just bought a rosewood pair of SP3/1P and a black SC3 top match. Now need wall-mountable, spouse-friendly surrounds!
JM Labs Chorus 700 might do it if the Scan tweeters can stand to have the Focal Tioxids 15 feet away!
I've been very happy as of late with the Spendor SP3/1P on a pair of Sound Anchor four post stands. I purchased them to compare against the Spendor S3/5. I think a solid stand needs to be factored into the cost of any quality monitor.

Previous to the Spendors, I was using Martin Logan Aerius-i.

I'm sorry, I have no experience with the GR-10. I can only give a satisfication recommendation for the Spendors.
