@mckinneymike I recently had an opportunity to audition the D7's and the Classic 100's in the same room with same equipment. To my ears and for my tastes, the Classic 100's were significantly superior. Perhaps a warmer, more "old-fashioned" sound, but I like that, tremendous bass, tremendous, deep sound-stage, a real winner. I burnt a CD a while ago with 7 "test" tracks. When I audition speakers, I usually find myself skipping on to the next track after 2 or 3 minutes, as I've heard enough to make an initial judgement. With the Classic's, I listened all the way through, without even realizing it.
Looking for a warm sweet speaker
That images great and resolves without etched treble. I love the british sound, but want something a little more modern sounding. The big Harbeths sound good to me, but the price is just out of my reach. Any American brands that you could suggest? In this day and age it’s getting harder to find brick and mortar dealers or even by appointment dealers that stock the type of speakers I am looking for it seems.
I have analog and digital sources.

I decided to pick up a pair of Spendor D7's for right now. I found a really nice pair for less than $4K so I will give these modern boxes a chance. Congrats on the D7s! They are a room friendly well-balanced speaker and that is a great price. I'm D9 owner and am really enjoying them. The Spendor midrange is very pleasing to my ears... Cheers |
