Unfortunately, I have to move into a smaller space and that means my Quads probably won't work. I'm starting to consider various box speakers. A friend of mine has a pair of Spendor SP1/2 that he's offering me, but I wouldn't be able to hear them prior to committing to the shipment. Perhaps this is a ridiculous question, but has anyone ever heard these models side by side to comment on a comparison?
