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. |

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 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. |

Audition & listening is always the most critical factor whether or not a certain speaker will work out or not. |

I own a pair of Spendor BC-1 speakers. They definitely have bass, depending on which amp is used. Have had good luck with a Sansui 9090, as well as a BGW Performance Series amp. I did not have good luck with an NAD integrated, even though I like NAD.

Hold on to those BC-1's if you can- they're a piece of history. Last edited by gregswaim; 10-07-2009 at 07:13 PM. |
