That is a very nice speaker overall, and I think that if you can give it that 12" you'll get good results.
Rear ported speakers?
Hi group,
I've been eyeballing a used pair of rear ported Spendor 3/1 stand mount speakers. I have always used sealed speakers. The speaker would be placed with the rear a minimum of 12 inches out from the wall behind them. Do you think that would be a problem?

The Classic 3/1 delivers a truly captivating sound with unprecedented transparency and dynamic contrast. Efficient, easy to drive and equally at home with tube or solid-state electronics, analogue or digital sources, it always delivers consistent enjoyable sound. A versatile dedicated stand-mount that will work in smaller rooms and close to walls, the Spendor Classic 3/1 offers the ultimate in pure listening pleasure.
Thanks for your input!

@ elliottbnewcombjr I have owned many LS3/5a type of speakers that are a sealed design. I love my Harbeth P3ESRs. I came across this used pair of the Spendor 3/1 and was just curious if it would be problematic if close to a wall. I don’t want to get stuck with a speaker that might not be that easy to resell without taking a bath. I think I will pass on them because the seller will not come down on his asking price!! |
