Spendor D7, D9 but no love Classic 100?
I recently auditioned the A7.  I have a pair of SP1 at home and found the A7 much more dynamic, but lacking the sweet golden tone of the SP1.  I have found the SP1 very much dependent on amplifiers.  Originally ran it with a Harman Kardan and its ... 
Leben CS 600 and Harbeth vs Audio Note vs ATC vs JM Reynaud
I saw your post.  Interestingly I am trying to upgrade my Spendor SP-1s from 1988.  I heard the A7 but found it a little sparse, though more dynamic than the SP1s.  It did not have the magical mid range.  I would be interested in the Classic 100, ...

HI I realize this is an old thread, but it seems to address my current speaker search.  I am thinking of Zu Druids to replace an aging pair of Spendor SP-1.  Will be using Leben amplifier with them.  One dealer suggested that I would miss the sple...

Harbeth SHL 5 amplification
Thats very helpful. My listening area is about 20 x 14.  We listen at mainly medium volume to music/ no home theater. I am currently driving a pair of Spendor SP-1 speakers which I believe have similar efficiency to the Harbeth speakers.  The amp ...

Harbelth HL5plus
I did see the review, but was surprised by what I heard at the dealer; he even had an LFD amplifier driving the speakers.  But they were fresh out of the box.  Definitely will need to hear them again.  Its interesting you mentioned the D7; as I am...
