Amp recommendations for Spendor

for solid state amps

hegel
pass
ayre
naim (above nait 5i)

luxman is fine, very good sound, if not the best value...

many to choose from if going tubes... arc c-j vac octave vaic/ayon among others

-- no affiliation to any of the above other than having had them/heard them as a hobbyist --

British amp for sure, and a nod in favour of EXPOSURE.

I’ve auditioned them paired up at audio expos with an all VAN DEN HUL cables loom, as part of their presentation. It mirrors the experiences links below.

My local dealer sells Spendor speakers. I've heard the A4 and 7 at his store w/both Naim and Luxman gear. You can't go wrong w/either.

*Spendor dealer disclaimer*

I don't really think that there is a "set" amplifier that you need to go with to match well with Spendor...they tend to play nicely with lots of different amps (both the A and D series).

You mentioned Luxman and Cary.  Do you have a preference on solid or tube?

Like Kren stated above, I would think that the D7.2s would work ok in your room size (especially considering the cathedral ceilings).

With that said, I'm a huge fan of the A Series speakers.  The sound both the A4 and A7 produce from their cabinet size, is quite impressive.  It's pretty crazy to setup a pair of A4s and see/hear the soundstage they can throw.
