Which to keep! Pick one of these two soeakers

Get rid of that Spendor (generic crap, nothing special about it) and keep the MLs. The MLs are a bit too unique/not replaceable.

There are many speakers that can easily best that Spendor in 2023. If you miss the spendor one day, get a Mofi Sourcepoint 10 (which beats the living snot out of that Spendor and you will no longer miss it) or a JBL HDi-3800.

One of them is concentric driver done right and the other is a compression driver/waveguide/horn done right. You will thereby end up with a ML and one of these, i.e., 2 very different designs that do very different things well.

@kennymacc @mirolab The experience of others with the same speakers is just a factor in my decision. A wise person is open to the experience of others. A fool makes decisions in a vacuum. There may be people who have had each of these for decades, they will know things that I will not know in a only the weeks I’ve had each of these. Space restrictions for forces me to choose one pair quickly.

Ok @mirolab Didn't mean to upset you, buddy.             

@cabkab Hey, at least I like your response!

For myself, I’ve had for over 20 years now, 3 pairs of speakers that I switch between every ~6 months. They each sound VERY different from each other, and I appreciate the qualities of each, and acknowledge their shortcomings. Luckily, I am ABLE to keep, and store all of them, and have a wife that doesn’t mind big speakers!

They are B&W Matrix 801’s, Martin Logan SL3’s, and Tannoy System 15’s. Each are very different designs & directivity patterns. The 801’s have wide dispersion dome tweeter, Tannoys have 90deg horn tweeter, and Logans are Fig-8 E.S. panels. Each pair also makes me favor the music that sounds best on them.

My recommedation to any audio/music lover is (if you can) keep 2 very different sounding pairs of speakers to enjoy. 

@newbee so it turns out that the Adcom is actually a totally rebuilt dual mono Musical Concepts creation. I found the docs and receipt for the work and sure enough the device is gutted with some amazing work inside. So the guy was powering the panels with this solid state creation and the subs with the VT100 MKIII tube amp. I could hook it up the same but I'm now missing a way to balance the signals. I need a way to control how much signal goes to the Adcom vs the amp for the subs.
