Spendor D9.2 vs Proac D48r

I had Dynaudio Contour 60 in that room and found them a bit too much for the room. Physically for sure.   They are BIG speakers.  I just found them a bit to laid back for my liking.,  I was able to get the bass response pretty good however.  I would think either the Proac or the Spendor would be a bit more "snappy" and immediate.  More forward sounding.

Why do you consider Spendor D series?
Why don't Spendor Classical series or Harbeth?

I like Spendor Classical and  Harbeth sound.
I heard Spendor D9 and D7 at Montreal audio show and was deeply disappointed by their scratchy, not natural sound. 

Harbeth HL5

Small room. Smaller speakers on stands. Add a small sub if you need lower bass. 

+1 alexberger. Take a look at the Spendor Classic 1/2.

Or the Graham Audio LS 5/9f.
