Your Spendors are considered by many to be full range, but they do miss the bottom octive. True 'full range' have an 'open' bottom end, or no restrictions to how low they will play. There are very few true 'full range' speakers. Even though the term 'monitor' can apply to large multi-driver speakers, it is generally used to describe small box speakers, 'full range' usually refers to floorstanding and other large speakers. Its just a general way to describe the type of speaker. You would list your Spendor S8 speakers as 'full range' here at Audigon.
