I really like these speakers. Clear, accurate and they are able to maintain warmth.

[@philthomas8351]

One of the best sound demos ever on site. Love the Spendors. Two friends have smaller Spendor speakers.

Nobody can based on a youtube video say the sound of a music box is good, very good or marvelous. There are to many thinks between the original Sound and the speakers of the youtube watcher.

Do you have the Spendor d9? if so, can you do a couple demos. thank you

[@wolfgangpohlmann5952]

There is some effortlessness to the bass that I only have ever heard from large woofers like these 30 cm drivers. Has anybody got an example of a loudspeaker with significantly smaller woofers that is also able to present such a beautiful bass?

I don't know how much these speakers cost, but let me tell you something: the fact they make my Microlab B77s (~$60 @ local shop) sound like they're worth $1000 is priceless to me.

[@briancampbell7712]

I have the vintage SP100 and they seem more of a natural dynamic speaker...but then again I'm not there to hear it play and listen to my tracks...mid range not as dynamic for sure...I prefer the vintage Spendors much better...and for the cost of these I think the tweeters could be much better as well as the driver cone material (from the looks)...

Loa spendor S100 bạn ghép với amply gì vậy?bạn chia sẻ cho tôi được không?

[@fanlaz959]

I am keep looking those for about six years right now and i have read everything about them and every review possible, magazines and idividual users, that to my opinion, are more distant and remote of the knowing "preassures" of today's market. I have also auditioned the D7s, with exposure 3010 monos and it was really a very good one. Maybe, especially today we had should 't ask for more... Someone wrote for these: "borrow, barg, steal or everything takes to get these speakers". Just see the available reviews and you will find it. I am "sickly" curious about them, that every day i am thinking i wish to never had discover them. I canot audition them except if travel but who goes to england now with 15 days guaranteen except the expences ? Now, everyone, wants to demonstrate that is someone very unique and plays this kind of music, or soft jazz, or similar that almost every speaker can do real well...Why you don't play something more "bity" like rock or even pop to see the real thing? Is it because they are not oriented to this music or they do best with the video 's one? It suposed that a good loudspeaker "plays" everything. At the end, are we "obsesed" by the so nice retro appearance and the nostalgia era of the 70s a d 80s ? These are some of thoughts that need to be considered by someone that is going to "pull the triger" for about 8 to 9 grant (000)...

[@ckarjala]

I owned a pair of these about 10 years ago, I kick myself every day for selling them. They are very forgiving speakers, will make SS/tube/hybrid all sound excellent.

[@fanlaz959]

Can you "demo" the song "driver s seat" of snif in the tears, so we can have some other type of taste too and upload in youtube of course ? Thank you..

[@drwavedawg]

Spendor>Harbeth...I think Graham is great too. Anything BBC is typically good. Derek Hughes designed the SP100 had his hand in the 40.1/2 which is a derivative of the BC3 and the new Graham stuff is awesome too

[@locmanw1583]

How does the Harbeth M40.2 stack up to the Spendors?

[@drwavedawg]

@@locmanw1583 the Harbeth have a slightly more natural midrange but are a tad less dynamic. I mean slightly. Please note I never heard them side by side with the same gear. Personally the Spendors are more fun for me...

[@locmanw1583]

@@drwavedawg ok thanks for letting me know! I thought Spendors had a natural mids too!

[@drwavedawg]

@@locmanw1583 yes the Spendors have a very natural midrange. Extremely natural. Once again not the same gear or room. My amp is a bit warmer and darker than neutral so when I heard the Harbeths they were more neutral, dry and perhaps slightly more natural sounding in voices and spoken word. The spendors where however more musical more enjoyable for me. Sweeter... I hope that makes sense.

The sound is very good, but the amplifier seems to have little power to drive the speakers. However the highs are the best I've ever heard.

Great speaker, ive owned two pairs over the years incl the orig. S100 but those stands you have them on are way too high.

[@wseto09]

I'm not into feeling the bass in any headphones. I find that they're not clear. Yes. You can definitely feel the bass in a closed back headphones. But at a cost of clarity. I love to hear the lower bass notes in an open headphones. I'm just guessing for me that I maybe like the openness of an electrostatic speakers. Airy. Not in your face bass. You can maybe hear the low sub notes in an open back headphones if the recordings is done right. Also there is something about hearing the mid range in an open back headphones that sometimes I find it sounds like your right there in the recording of the room that you cannot get from a closed back headphones. I love clarity. There is always a trade off sadly. Open back headphones can leak out so people close by in a room can hear the music that they might not like. Trebles can be sweet too. Closed back headphones are more for dj. But I should not be generalizing that. That's bad. Never heard a closed back headphones reproduce clarity in a well recorded recording when done right.

[@yt0500323022]

If you had $12K what speakers would you buy other then these?

[@vinylseeker867]

I bought those and if i had to chose again i would 100% buy those again.Those are trully amazing sounding.Pair them right ad you will never look for other speakers.Rooms like 30square meters those are perfect.

[@wseto09]

Upgrading the headphones from a close back to an open one will might definitely make this video from my pc sound better. A reproduction of only a fact similarly what the total sound of the audio equipment and speakers sound like. Sigh. Plus all that would blow my budget anyway of the pc and headphones.

[@hochhaul]

I'm listening with open back Sennheisers with a very flat response. The recording sounds great.

[@wseto09]

@@hochhaul Just being friendly. What model of sennheisers? Hd 600? Those would be awesome! Or is it one of these? Hd599 or hd 598. Just wondering! Mine is a close back Beyerdynamic dt770.

[@wseto09]

Most of these videos sounds nice on a good pair of headphones connected to a good pc audio output source. An external usb dac or go through the cheap way. Usb gaming cord with a usb to pc that's amplified for the headphones. No artificial surround effects. Mine is the cheap o way. No sound effects at least!

[@hochhaul]

@@wseto09 Haha nothing that nice to be honest. I don't do a lot of headphone listening anymore so I'm content with my ancient Sennheiser HD-497's. They have nearly two decades of break-in time so they are actually pretty good. They were knocked in reviews for not-so-great bass extension but that was because Senn was going for a neutral accurate sound. I also had a pair of old Grado SR60's but they were destroyed in a move and I never replaced them.

[@wseto09]

@@hochhaul If you can hook up your pc which might be a laptop to at least a half decent mid range stereo system with decent speakers and can play it sort of loud without disturbing anyone. This video and others like this should sound very nice. I had the hd 600 long time ago but screwed up the connections to the headphones. Sigh. Been searching for something that sounds like hd 600 at a lower price point ever since. Beyer dynamic dt 770 comes close. But the detail is still not there.Close only due to close back. I know my headphone sound quality and sound quality in general. Love detail sound You can say analytical critical listening. That's me.
