Any opinions on a possible switch from Von Schweikert VR-1 to Spendor SA1 speakers?


I am currently using Von Schweikert VR-1 speakers. I like them, but don't love them, and there is a pair of Spendor SA1 available near me here in Portugal.

My listening space is smallish and fairly shallow, and hard floors abound. I am powering the system with a recently refreshed Accuphase E-303 integrated, which I like very much.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

My thought is spendors are likeable good speakers but not lovable great ones. Might be a lateral not forward move for you. Also they wont play any better with your room than the von sch do - could even be worse. Honestly i would think your setup would be a good match so you may consider room improvements first? Other ideas - quads, harbeth, kef, tannoy. 


I’ve owned many Spendors over the years. The only Spendor I did not like was the SA1. It was way too bright for my taste. I can’t comment on the VR-1 having never heard it! If you like a speaker that is on the bright side you just might like the SA1.
