    Spendor SP2/1. According to signature. Very clean sounding, excellent vocal reproduction. Immediate and fantastic dynamics. I was thoroughly impressed.

    Yes, Spendor have done some great speakers and the D7's have really caught my attention - I'll have to see if i can get a listen. In the context of my set up would be the ideal obviously but often not easy to achieve unfortunately but you never know ....

    I've not heard those so can't comment but today's listening was sublime. Spendors aren't all equal I'm told.

    No, thats it. There's a house sound or that 'dna' flavour with Spendors I guess, which is generally superb in the mids and non fatiguing which is what I love about my 752 Freedoms , hence gravitating towards Spendors when I upgrade.

    Today's reminded me of Mission 710 speakers of old. Very clean indeed. Wish be I hadn't given them away now lol. Looking for some mission 770s hahaha

    I'm guessing it was the 2M Black doing the business or did you sample the Decca as well ?

    I paid James a visit last January and thought his system sounded fantastic
