I have used Spendor's since the 70s and would second the "No Receiver" resolution. The British Fidelity amps were very good with Spendors , I use to sell both. British Fidelity was a name used in the US by Musical Fidelity during a period in which that name was trademarked in the US by another company. Their products are , of course , still on the market and are excellent but they have gone up market. Since I do not know your budget I cannot comment but would suggest that a good used tran. amp would probably be better for your current needs than a tube unit.
Amp/ receiver advice for Spendor SP2/3's
I need some basic advice about what to look for in a receiver to "adequately", or "properly" power these speakers. The room is ~25'x15'x9'....and I listen to a great variety of music...cuban "folk", celtic, jazz, rock -though nothing screaming.
Much technical advice I read is a bit over my head...but I'm learning. I realize that "adequately" & "properly" may be too subjective. Would a Yamaha RX-596 do the job ? Should I look for something else ? many thanks
