Hello,I don't agree, I have the S3/5se, the S3/5 and the SP1/2, also I had the SP3/1. The best sounding Spendor speaker I heard (I heard all classic series) are the S3/5se, better sounding than my beloved SP1/2, but with the inconveniece of the lack of sensibility, and deep bass (Solved by Rel).
My S3/5se works superb with a 30W per channel integrated tube amplifier (Pentode regulated, PP, EL34), in a 7m L x 4m W x 3m H room, with enough pressure for listen "The Ramones" (For example).
If you do not stay more than 2m from the speakers, the best Spendors IMMO are the S3/5se
My example: 30W amp are 15dB more than 1W, 81,5 dB SPL at 1m(Stereophile) + 15dB = 96,5 dB SPL at 1m (One box with 30W), plus another box 99,5 dB SPL at 1m (Pair), 93,5 dB SPL at 2m (-6 dB of fall by double of the distance). The S3/5 are rated for 125W (I don't believe), this is 6 dB more than 30W.
Cheers
