spendor

I have a pair of Spendor SP 1/2Es that I've never been happy with and am going to try to trade for something better. I have found that multiple components seem to have failed or are failing. I am far from a speaker expert but I can work a multimeter and have found that one of the Scanspeak...

I’ve been enjoying comparing vintage AR suspension speakers with BBC (spendor) monitors of I suppose similar vintage eras of inspiration. (My AR10pi are based on 1960s era AR3 to some extent as my SP1s are upgraded BC1s from the same decade). I’m wondering if anyone has expertise in the pros and...

Hi All, I'm very seriously considering purchasing a pair locally, but am not completely familiar with all the iterations and permutations of these famous speakers. I'm attaching some photos from the original listing (which the seller, very nice guy, has taken down until I come and listen) How...

Hello all, I recently grabbed a pair of 99’ spendor sp1/2e’s. I have them hooked up to a sansui 2000a and have tried them on an arcam a1 also. The tweeters and the mid drivers don’t seem to be working on either speaker. I have tried them on a biwire to single banana plug on the arcam and I have...

Hello :beerchug: I need your advice in selecting acoustics. There is no way to listen to all models. I listen mostly to pop, jazz, a bit of ambient. A big fan of Moby. In acoustics, I appreciate the ability to convey the realism of vocals and voices. The bidders for the purchase were the BBC...

I trust the Spendors the most but I already have a pair of A6rs in my music room. The new speakers would go into the living room (they call it "sala" here) around the new TV. However, I see little use for them working with video except maybe in concert Blu-Rays - which I don't have yet. Both...

A number of years ago, the first hifi system that got me interested in "good" sound was a friend's rig, which had a pair of '90s Spendor SP2/1's. Those speakers always represented kind of an aspirational benchmark for me. I recently came into a bit of cash after receiving an insurance...

I have on two different occasions listened to Harbeth C7ES-3 and Spendor SP1/2, both presented very excellent imaging and mid range. To me ears they both are very balanced, even their bass are good despite the woofers not being big. I found that their sound is what I'm looking for, but...

Hi folks, I recently bought a pair of Spendor BCIII's, and I'm noticing a bit of harshness, especially in the high frequencies. Everything sounds good at VERY low volume, but as soon as I give them any juice, the sound quality suffers. All drivers are functional. I've been told that these are...

What do you make of vintage Spendor SP-1? (Original owner, purchased in 1992, near mint, everything original) Here's my dilemma. I've never owned enough speakers to make a good comparison so looking for opinions. I owned cheap Bose 2.2's and now have JBL L20T's. Space has always been an issue...

Hello, Are there speaker cables available that would enable me to connect a Luxman R-1050 (standard speaker wire jacks) to the XLR input on Spendor BC 3 speakers? Much appreciated. Thanks!

I found a pair of Spendor BC 3's at a local record shop. Frankly, they're a little out of my price range, but if they're all original and working perfectly, I have to admit I'm tempted. Any thoughts? What should I be wary of? I plan on driving them with a Luxman R-1050. Good match?

Hi, I have reacquired my BC3 speakers...lent to my son when he went to Africa 11 years ago. He is back and so are the speakers, both slightly the worse for wear. The HF2000 had separated due to humidity.. the surround came apart. I have repaired those and they work very well. As far as I can...

Hi everyone. I've read a review and a few threads online regarding the Schiit Ragnarok Integrated. The one review I read was a little overly enthusiastic which I'm taking as a grain of salt.. and many of the threads seem to rip the company apart without actually listening to their products...

I'm thinking of buying a pair of older Spendor SP100s. Does anyone have the crossover circuit and perhaps have a recommendation on whether or not to recap the crossover and at what age? I'd probably buy them on-line in Europe and have them shipped to me out in the boondocks. I thought I...
