All my serious listening is classical.I love nothing more than the faithful reproduction of the tone colors of unamplified instruments (the wood body of the violin and cello, the felt pad excting the sinewy strings of a piano).
I hate nothing more than steely shrillness on violins or a glare on a soprano's voice.
YET, I hate bloated, indistinct, overly warm, billowy lower mids and upper bass (what I gather some think of as "musical").
For years, much of what I've read about Spendors have led me to believe they may be the speaker for me. But I have never even seen one (much less a pair!).
So do I sound like I might be a Spendor guy? And if so, should I consider just the Classic line or the newer Sxe line, too. Thanks so much for any comments.
