First, I must remind you that I have no experience with Naim and Spendor so take it for what its worth.
Ive heard some Spendors- afew years ago- sounding great with jazz and classical but a little to polite for rock.
But if warm and pacey is what you're looking for, Spendors might be just what you're after.
I personally and YMMV wouldnt be looking for warmth in a speaker if I prefer rock.
Pick up a used pair of 5se here on Audiogon. I dont think you'll have much trouble reselling them if they dont do it for you.
Just my opinion, of course.
