FS - Spendor s9e speakers

[Mike g]

Morning everyone

Due to a living room reorganisation my spendor s9e speakers are up for sale. I have owned them for 5 years (bought new from Robert Ritchie Hi-fi in Montrose) and love them however space has meant that they are no longer going to work for me. I don't have boxes so at present they would need to be pick up or delivery and I'm happy to drive reasonable distance from Cupar in fife. I am though looking into getting boxes from spendor (dealer installed them for me and didn't bring boxes with him which is a nuisance now). Used in a non-smoking and pet free house they have given great service on the end of various naim systems.

I really will miss these however domestic comfort for the family has to take priority unfortunately...

These were £3,300 when I bought them so how about £1,500 now.

These will be a great speaker for anyone who knows the classic Spendor sound - smooth natural and non fatiguing with beautiful mids. Get some power up them and you'll be grinning like a Cheshire cat. A lot of quality speaker at this price.

The E version of the S9 was superb as I recall and FAR more lively if pushed than the S6e and S8e lower down the range. BI-AMP these for amazing results - one client did some previous S9's with big not expensive NAD power amps and these came to life in a very positive way.

By the way, the 'E' version of the 9 better integrated the drivers together (bass was already better controlled) and in the 6e and 8e, the bass was re-tuned a little to tighten it up a bit.

Good price and hope they don't hang around long :) The D7, which replaces these, is the thick end of £4K now.....

Thanks guys- they're going to be difficult to replace. Suspect I'll need to make some compromises on sound quality with what comes next...

[DSJR]

Spendor have a new baby due - D1? - to replace the SA1 mk2, which is now being flogged off in readiness. There's always the hugely entertaining Harbeth P3ESR as well, which generally sounds a lot bigger than it is and offers such a sweet and tactile midrange - goes quite loud too and doesn't change its sound until the main driver runs out of travel - they play Massive Attack very well :lol:

[Mike g]

Cheers- I'll look into them. Trying out some PMCs at the minute and liking them- get a surprising amount of bass and volume given their size.

[DSJR]

Not the 20 series with $4 bass-mid drivers?

[Mike g]

I've got a pair of FB1i on demo but had planned to hear the 23s- are you not a fan?

[Mike g]

Open to sensible offers on the basis that I quite like the demo speakers I have atm.

[Mike g]

£1100 without the boxes..,

[RobbieGong]

£1100 without the boxes..,

My gosh, Such a lot of speaker for £1100....

[Mike g]

Got interest but still not sold...

[Mike g]

Running out of time to get them sold- need to let the dealer know on Monday if I'm going to buy the replacements that I have lined up and can only do so if these are moved on...

[Mike g]

Right down as low as I can go - £1,000 (so long as delivery is reasonable and not the other end of the country - unless of course you want to meet somewhere) and I need to know quickly so I can secure the replacements that I have lined up. If not i'll happily live with the spendors....

[Mike g]

These haven't quite gone away yet...may be able to do something on stage payments if that helps anyone. Get in touch - sure we can come to an arrangement...
