I have a mint pair of three year old Spendor 3/5r's in black ash I was thinking of selling. If you are interested let me know. I would have to clear $700.00 so no paypal unless he pays fee. Great monitor. The price of these were 1395.00 new. Think about it.(860-583-5705)ask for Brett.
Best Two-Way Monitor Speakers under $700 New/Used
So, here goes. I have a good friend who needs audiophile recommendations (you guys) for two-way speaker replacement with a budget not to exceed $700 new (or used) for the pair of speakers. He will place the monitor speakers on stands - color is important. Expresso finish or black color is preferred because it matches his room furniture. With that in mind, let me know what you think. He's running a NAD integrated solid state amp (but I'm anxiously trying to convince him to purchase a tube integrated or separates). He has a Music Hall turntable and Morrow Audio interconnects and speaker cabling. I recommended Totem Mites, Dynaudio Excite 12 (used) and Paradigm. Any other ideas that come to mind? Thanks in advance for your help.

I own the Totem Mites and they require very good equipment with them to sound their best. They also do not put out a lot of bass. This may be breaking his budget a bit, but I would go for Ascend Acoustic Sierra 1s , which come in a Gloss Expresso, which is a stunning look. Ascend runs periodic seasonal sales and Labor Day is around the corner. I picked up my pair new for about $800. Outstanding speaker with exceptional presence. Rich |
