Spendor D9 vs. PSB T3 speakers.

I have not heard the D9 but have heard the PSB T3 and just recently purchased the Spendor D7.  
The PSB is a very nice speaker with a smooth presentation but the bass response can be overdone and peaky / one note hard sounding. 
The design if the Spendor tower's slotted port / semi transmission line lets them produce a very high quality bass that is unique and set apart from the competition.  Give them enough power and they will easily play full-range with authority with clean, well defined notes.  
In fact the bass response during my D7 demo is what sold me on them.  I played a jazz piece with a well recorder upright bass and could not believe the sound, powerful physical impact yet well defined and no peaks whatsoever.  I was sold instantly and am extremely happy with the purchase.  

@avanti1960 ,
Yes, that D7 can produce amazing bass. Very impressive. Congratulations on the Spendors. What finish did you get? Not that it matters, but the pair I demoed was in "ebony" and it looked splendid :-)

I purchased the Spendor D9s. Previously had istened to the T3s in an friends system and they are very nice but the D9s, once fully broken in, surprise me daily with their musicality, clarity, and bass.  Currently using an Ayre VX-5 twenty amp.  

I heard the D7s at AXPONA this year and was so thoroughly impressed I ordered a pair that should be delivered in the next few days.  Dark walnut finish ;-)

How would the Goldenears compare to the PSB's and Spendors? They are about the same price.
