Spendor speakers

I have both the Spendor Classic 1/2 and 2/3e speakers. Both have a mid-range to die for, with the 1/2's having a slightly deeper bass but, as others have said, bass is not why you buy the Spendor Classic speakers. New Spendor 2/3's sell for about $3,500; new 1/2's for about $5,500.

My listening room is 14'x15'. I use a solid state Audio Analogue Puccini integrated amplifier (50 watts) and a Pathos Classic One hybrid integrated amplifier (70 watts) to drive the Spendors to very loud levels. They have a flat 8 ohm impedence and are easy to drive. I also use an Eastern Electric M-520 tube integrated amplifier (18 watts). The music is just magical, whether powered by a solid state or tube amplifier.

I've got the current S8E's and they sound fantastic. Smooth but extended highs, really good bass, terrific imaging... a great speaker in any age, and they do come up used from time to time here on A-Gon.

spendor bc1/69's (only 69 pairs made)...ls3/5a's..both incredible and beyond rare....still under 2k when you find them.

BC3s here -- the best speakers I've owned or heard chez moi in 35 years. Like electrostats but with more bass and volume capability.

I'm thinking Spendor, and am interested in them because of these vintage B&W DM4's I picked up. The Spendor BC1 was very much the same,same mid and super tweeters as the DM4's.
These vintage B&W's are freakin wonderful and totally open. So,I thought Spendor's would be worth checkin out too.

Thanks for all the comments and info!
