Thinking of buying a pair of Splendor D7.2...

Thanks for the thoughtful comments auto spell check can be brutal!
I have a pair of Totem signature 2 along with a matching centre chanel and a Totem sub, w/ MIT interconnects. They are powered off a Arcam AVR 350 receiver from a previous home theatre set-up and I have always felt the sound was a bit cold, the soundstage is limited as I have never been able to keep them a good meter from an adjacent wall due to practical space limitations.
I am planning the new stereo system in my condo open living/dining/kitchen room that measures about 20’ square. I am after a warmer more captivating sound image, and if need to spend a bit more within reason that is possible if the rewards to the sound are considerable. 

@fsonicsmith   Just curious how you would describe the sound of the D7's vs the O/93's.  I have the D7's and agree with everything you said about them, including how to maximum the listening experience.  I've been curious about the Devores too.

i had the D7s for a while and they sounded excellent being driven with the refined, powerful output of a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II. The latest version III just came out and people love them.

I have the larger Spendor D9s but agree with all that has been stated above as it also applied in my situation.  The positioning is critical and takes a little patience and effort, but will be richly rewarded.  My system consists of a tube preamp (VAC) and a solid state power amp (Ayer).  Every small change in the correct direction, be it cables, power, source, room setup, is clearly noticeable and leads to great enjoyment. 

I am after a warmer more captivating sound image, and if need to spend a bit more within reason that is possible if the rewards to the sound are considerable.

I’d just order Don Sach’s tube pre and KT88 amp and call it a day.  I think you can return them after 14 days, but good luck with that.  Best of luck in whatever you end up choosing.
