madeinstein:I went to the shop over the weekend and I've noticed Spendor speaker (1500£) which looked similiar to Spendor S5e. The guy in the shop said it's a new model but can't find anything online about this..It's a very new model, so not much info will be available just yet. As mentioned, they're £1495 and they're the same size as the S5e's, although they do look slightly smaller as they have done away with the large baseplate. The actual spike footprint is larger as they've managed to move the spikes to the edge of the cabinets.
Soundwise, they sounded cleaner than the S5e's, particularly in the bass/midrange section, due to an improved, lighter lower bass driver. They still retain the smoother, more laidback presentation of their predecessor. More when they're released!
