Are the Spendors "tube friendly", i.e., 6 ohm or higher impedence, flat impedence curve, no major phase anomolies? How much ss or tube power do you think you need? The music you are talking about lends itself well to tube and perhaps OTL amplifiers.
Searching for a
Over the years, I've often owned systems with sonics that lean toward the polite, dry, and British side of the spectrum. I've tried many small monitors, including B&W, Totem, Sonus Faber and Spendor, driven by solid state, tube and hybrid integrated amps.
I'm now looking for something with a looser, less reserved sonic signature...no need to be ruler flat or accurate in an analytical manner...just play the music with a relaxed, involving, "jucier" presentation.
Anyone have any suggestions for a sanely priced, full-range system that would get me there? ...or help me move in that direction with the equipment I already own? Right now I have the big Spendor SP100 monitors, an Ensemble 100w hybrid integrated amp, and Meridian G08 CD player.
I listen to a wide range of music, much of it in the singer-songwriter (Rikkie Lee Jones) category, and love any type that throws a huge acoustic space in my room.
Thanks all!
