RE: Are Spendors "working-man" Harbeths'?

I owner a pair of Spendor 9/1 (this was a SP 100 in a floor standing cabinet) for many years. A great sounding speaker I would still own if not for a number of moves that downsized my listening room. Now the room is back to full size for me (17x11) and I regret not holding on to the Spendors as well as a pair of Acoustat X I sold many years ago.

In my most recent speaker search I owned a number of speakers including the Harbeth ES-7. The Harbeth lasted about 60 days, and will not be making a return appearance. They were OK, but not great, and after all of the reviews I expected something a lot better.

So if I were you I would buy a pair of Spendors and not bother with a Harbeth audition. Your results may be different, but maybe not.

Best of luck in your search.
