Spendor & Castle
I use Spendor S8e's for my digital playback system & Castle Acoustics Warwick 3's for my analog playback system. Anyone else have either of these brands in their system(s)?

Greg.......Cool, you got the first post in the new Speaker Forum. Now we can chat about Spendors, and anything else that comes down the pike. I like it.

I think that I've matched amp/speakers extremely well with my 2 setups,IMO. |

I have been really interested in these Spendors as well as the Harbeths...
They get great reviews and are loved by many. My only question is... how do they manage to get SO LITTLE bass response from these speakers??? Many small monitors will equal or better the bass response from the large floor standers and stand mounts. No criticism meant, I am really looking forward to hearing these speakers soon... Just asking |

Sorry Greg,
Just going by the published specs. I am sure that the bass you are getting in you room is MUCH better than what is printed in specs. |

Greg.......Spendor has a rich history as a company. There are quite a few great speaker manufacturers in Great Britain. PMC comes to mind, too.
Here's a link to 6moons review of the Spendor S8e: 6moons audio reviews: Spendor S 8e

I picked up the Spendor line after hearing the SP100R 2 years ago with the Jadis DA50RC. The bass is much deeper than the published 40hz, I will be getting the first pair of the SP100R2 and rotate demos with the Mcintosh MC2301's, MC75's Ann. and the Jadis JA80's. Will also have the A5's. Revised crossovers and cabinet improvements should be a big improvement over the previous version with a much better bass response acording to the distributor's website. I loved what I heard with the 30 watt integrated in a very plain room setup, cant wait to see what 60 watts Class A monoblocks will do and of course 300 watts from the 2301's. Spendor has one of the sweetest midrange in any speaker line I have heard. If the series 2 delivers on bass they will be a very formidable speaker in the 10K pricepoint. Pics to come soon, AA members are always welcome to swing by for an audition.
