Thanks. There is a shop near enough to me that sells Spendor speakers. When it's safe to go out again, I will definitely give the A7 a listen. I've read reviews of them.
As for the Klipsch Forte iii, it's much too wide for my room placement issues. However, I have to say that when I was shopping for my Paradigms, way back when, I actually whittled the critical listening down in the shop I was in at the tie to them and a Klipsch model in the same price range. I actually liked the Klipsch a little more but I had a very different amp in those days and, again, they were just too wide and too big and their recommended room placement just would not have worked in my living room. In 1972, I heard a pair of Ohm F properly set-up, placed & powered and they were just phenomenal! That day, I bought a pair of Studiocraft speakers after extensive critical listening. All I could afford back then. I don't think they're still in the market. Bose used to make them. A year later, I traded them in for a pair of Ohm C and lived happily with them until I replaced them with the Paradigm.
One more thing I just gotta say before signing off, the Studebaker Avanti was/is one of my favorite sports cars of all time. If I'm not mistaken, I believe the AMC AMX was based on that design. Is that where your handle comes from?
