Ooooh. Them Spendors are very nice indeed....
I've tried the lyndgorf tdai 2700 (I think it was that anyway) and I just couldn't get it to sound right in my room. Plus, very expensive for what it was....
I'm not finding the Spendor A6R anywhere for sale? data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
The A6 was replaced by the A6R & then the A7.
Ah, that explains it. It also explains the big hike in price! //static.avforums.com/styles/avf/smilies/facepalm.gifdata:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
There's always used, thats how I got mine, albeit when they were still current. As long as you don't overpay you get unlimited demo time & almost no loss if you decide they're not for you & resell.
Where do you go (other than on here) for used speakers that's trustworthy?
As a side note, my next door neighbour does exactly as you have suggested, buying used.
He goes through speakers like there's no tomorrow and loves it.
He's auditioning some Kef LS50's at present... Loves them. He's had some amazing speakers in his house but claims these LS50's are up there with the best he's heard... I'll have a listen when I get home at weekend.
It's a funny old game this ain't it... data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
The smaller PMCs don't mind being close to the front wall either.My GB1s are only about 8cm away at their nearest point.Not sure about their larger floor standers.
My A6s cam from Ebay but were local so I could collect.
It would be interesting to try the Kefs with your subs & Dirac if he's ameanable.
Now that would be very interesting indeed... data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I'll put that to him, he's not bad like that... We've "borrowed" each others AV gear over the years so it's not out of the question.
It would also answer the question as to whether I actually NEED big floorstanders at all.... data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
God... This rabbit hole... Goes bloody deep... data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
