    IME the S8/S8e were much better. We used to sell S9/S9e's but every time we did a dem it was the S8's that were sold. The S9 needed a very large room to work and even then......

    I spoke to Philip Swift a couple of years ago (Spendor's MD) and he admitted to me that the S9/9e's were more a marketing exercise.

    Hope that helps, but at the end of the day, nothing beats a home dem, so that you can make up your own opinion.
