Spendor D9 vs. PSB T3 speakers.

@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.

GEs produce incredible bass because of the built in powered woofers but fall short in midrange tone, timbre and transparency.  They are also highly directional with limited sweet spot.  Can be "flat" sounding with jazz and horns.  
The PSBs are bass heavy and the bass becomes overdone as they age.  Midrange can be glaring but the treble and dynamics are excellent.  
Heard 'em all and chose the Spendors.  Glad I did.
