In Reply to: recommendations for floorstanders to replace Spendor sp2/3 posted by BRab on March 23, 2007 at 19:01:09:
One possibility would be to look for a pair Spendor SP 7/1s. These used the 2/3 drivers in a floor standing enclosure and have more extended (although still not really deep) bass response. I think used prices tend to run around $1200 pr when they come up plus or minus $200 depending on condition and veneer.
I would also look and the new J M Reynaud Cantabile Signature or the discontinued Evolution 3. I have not heard the Cantabile but Classic Spendor lovers tend to like Reynauds.
A case can also be made for Magneplanars, Vandersteens and maybe the PMC FB1+. The Green Mountain Audio Continuum 1.5i is a much more transparent/resolving speaker than than the 2/3 but it has vaguely similar, if more extended and open, voicing. It is no longer in production, I think used pairs are going for around $2K - $2.5K, again depending on condition and veneer. The Meadowlark Heron i is also worth considering in the $2K used ballpark. I was much less impressed with the Shearwater Hotrods. ProAc Response 2.5is are another roughly $2K used option. There are lots of good possibilities out there.
