Spendor D7

Looking for new speakers to use with Leben cs 600 amplifier.  Considering Devore Super  9 , Proac Ds30R.  Goal is natural sounding, not too forward high end.  A friend recommended the Spendor D7. I have listened to the A7 but found it too bright.  Has anyone auditioned the D7?  Is it forward sounding?
Thanks

The D7s are a brilliant speaker.   Transparent and neutral that crosses over the thin line between forgiving and accuracy without being fatiguing!  
My my only grumble was that they take a very robust (e.g. 200 WPC)  amplifier to deliver the best sounding bass.

We learned long ago that there are no absolutes in audio. Speaker X may be "brilliant" to one set of ears and much less so to another.

If several people concur that a given speaker is good, then it may be worth seeking out to give it an audition, though it's possible that another listener may not like it at all.

@mpomerantz,I have listened to the D7. They are absolutely not bright or forward sounding loudspeakers. I loved them when I went looking for speakers. Heard them with MBL electronics. Also auditioned the ProAc D30RS. These are musical loudspeakers. I ultimately ended up with ProAc D49R in a room size that is similar to yours. But if you are leaning towards the D7, got for it. They are excellent loudspeakers.
