Hello Audiodon, It's been a while since I came here, I hope you 're still enjoying the A9.Cheers. 
Tidal Speakers owners
Hello,I recently bought a used pair of Piano Classic, it is the very pair reviewed by John Potis in 6moons. At the time, he liked them so much that he bought them. Sadly he passed away some time ago, and the familly decided to sell them recently. ... 
Spendor A9 : Your first impressions
By the way I see Artmaltman have had the same experience with bass with a previous generation of Spendor, this may tell something I suppose.Thx Art, do you still enjoy your Spendor ?Fabien 
Spendor A9 : Your first impressions
Hi Jaxwired,The lack of bass is what you notice with the A's when they are new or less than 9 months/1 year old. But i recently realized that the low range on my A9 was much more in line now with the others registers than during the first months. ... 
Spendor A9 : Your first impressions
I was at RMAF 2011 for the first time last week where I heard some very nice systems. But my feeling is I would have to put at least 20K (listed) for speakers significantly better than those A9.The one could be among Tidal Piano, Hansen The Knight... 
Acoustic Zen Absolute. How good they are?
I upgraded my IC AZ Matrix II and Silver Ref to Absolute and I couldn't be happier. Absolute are more revealing and at the same time smoother and fuller. The instruments have more body and the listening is less aggressive. At the end of the day, I...

Rgs, I have always been attracted to revealing and transparent speakers. And as an old owner of ML Quest I can say the A9 is on this category, and very close to the Quest midrange (and much better on some other fields). I hope you'll have the oppo...

Need help in search of Living Voice sound
Have you tested Spendor yet ? The new A9 is a very natural and musical speaker, and easy listenable in Europe I think. 
Spendor A9 : Your first impressions
Hi KostaWhen I first read your post on image, I thought it was maybe an association problem. I'm glad you solved it.On my side, I changed some of my IC which are now full AZ Matrix II vs silver + matrix. The A9 are so revealing that the highs were... 
Speakers in 10-15K price range for Classical music
Neal,I don't know if you still have you 400xi, but if yes I would suggest a change. I used to own it and I found it analytical, neutral, but not very musical. Instruments lacked body, and the dynamic was poor. It was quite annoying.I upgraded to a... 
Krell or Plinius?
Hi,I owned the 400xi and now the 9200, both paired with Totem Forest.To me no comparison, the 9200 is way more musical, involving and give more material to the instruments. The 400xi is just too etheral and boring.
