I'm a 2/2 owner. I've heard the SP100 and it was very nice. More of the 2/2 sound in every area. It needs some room around it and a bigger room if you're going to play loud. I believe the R2 is re-voiced for better detail. While easy to drive, you might need something bigger than the Nait.
Thoughts and experiences on the Spendor SP100 R2
Seeking input from knowledgeable folks who have had or heard the large Spendor SP100 R2 speakers, or their predecessors or successors. I have had smaller Spendor SP2/2’s in the past, really enjoy their excellent mature sound, nothing flashy but sounds very real and easy to listen to. Currently have the Epos M22 three way floor standers driven by a Naim Nait XS2 integrated. I know the Spendor S100 series of large-box 3 ways have been the top of line model for the ’classic’ line, which they have continued to manufacture since a long long way back. I guess they have periodically updated the speaker.
I would appreciate input on these speakers (there is a very nice condition set I can purchase used from the owner locally) and how they might compare to larger Harbeths, ATCs, Grahams, Wharfedales, even Devores and Klipsch’s (in the $6000-10,000 per pair range).
Also any input on suitable amp power and type to drive these Spendors would also be of help.
