For some time now I've been looking at this speaker (not the D7.2-too out of my price range) and was wondering what folks here who might own them (or maybe at one time did) think of the D7s. Specifically, how is the bass extension and pressurization in their respective rooms? My room is 17.5'x15.5' with a 9' semi-cathedral ceiling that flattens at the top; not many parallel angles, either, so it makes for a very nice listening experience overall. I enjoy every music genre imaginable, but really like the depth of electronic bass and the lowest range of the piano pretty much every listening session (even though measurements in my room don't reach 20Hz flat but does an admirable job anyway). What do people think of them as standalone 'full-range' speakers without a sub or subs? I'm admittedly hesitant to forego my subwoofers if they are bass-light (I'm reading too many conflicting reports in this regard). The difficulty here is that I live where there is no opportunity to audition the Spendor. I typically would not post a thread like this because I know it is entirely a personal preference and room (inter)dependent choice. For some background, I have owned either Harbeth or Spendors in the past, so know it is the sound I generally prefer (accurate tonality and midrange magic). It's just I have no idea what the new D7 sounds like compared to classic Spendors. After copious amounts of researching on seemingly every forum online it sure sounds like exactly what I would enjoy for years to come. I'm more than okay with losing my dual-subs so long as the D7s reach 'low and tight'. I'm not looking for 'more, window-rattling' bass. Integration-wise coupled with DSP you'd never know my subs were even there, as their only purpose is to support and fill-in as much of the bottom-end as realistically as possible. It's a two-channel system only and all I care about is accuracy and extension, not how it feels in my chest. My speakers are C7ES3s and are 3' from the front wall, about 3' from the sidewalls, 7' or so apart; my listening position is probably close to 7' but there is room to experiment in all of this. Like I say, I'm pretty sold on this model given its generally high praise and what people have reported are its strengths and overall sound signature. Given my room size and how I've described what I'm looking for, is the opinion or likelihood that the D7 has enough bass to possibly forego having to use a sub or subs? Anything is greatly appreciated.
