Proac K6 Signature, Sonus Faber Amati Tradition,Verity Audio Amadis, Kharma DB-9

...if you were me and you played rock and roll like the Stones, the Allman Brothers, John Mellencamp but also played singer songwriters like ; Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Brown, Waylon Jennings, Josh Ritter but also loved jazz like Pat Methaney, Return to Forever, Cannonball Adderley. In a room that is 16 wide and 30 deep with cathedral ceilings and all Accuphase separates with the amp being a 60 watt pure class A design …...which one would pick ?  I have narrowed it down to those 4 brands  - don't care what you have or had just anybody's thoughts on those 4 Particular speakers. Thank you and stay well and safe out there !

Hello speakermaster - thank you and I did research on Spendor's largest floor stander the ; Classic 200 but no dealer carries that speaker and it does not seem to be a speaker that is well coveted over here in the US. The spec's do indicate that it very well may be a veyt good speaker but is little to no information it. It really looked at that one for a long. Not a big Harbeth fan.

Have you listened to the Spendor Classic 100?  I imagine the 200 will have a very similar sonic signature, just with a bit more bass extension and power handling.  The Classic 100 already goes lower than some of your listed options.

Hello two leftears and I have listened to the older version the ; SP 100 R2 and loved them but what I am '' hearing '' that ever since Dorothy and Spencer Hughes left it is not the same company or sound. I don't know what to believe at this point but the classic 200's are north of $25,000. So there is a lot of competition at that price point and the reviews of the classic 200 have been marginal at best  ; stating that they sounded very ; soft.

If british sound, etc, you might consider ATC 100s or even 200s. More bite than big Spendors (I had those). Subjectively speaking, Jimi Hendrix on big Proacs or big ATCs will sound like Jimi Hendrix, on (say) a Harbeth it will sound like the LSO is out of tune... (I actually like the big Harbeths)
