igglebert:An audition is key but you'll never know until you try them in your house. My Spendor SA1s produce loads of bass as far as I'm concerned, possibly due to room interaction and lack of control by the amp, but they're not wanting in that department. Having said all that, if you're open minded, willing to experiment with electronics over time and open to having a second room system(!) then at that price they'd be a nice addition to any hifi hobbyist's collection! If my other half wouldn't lynch me, I'd probably have a pair for the bedroom
Yup, SA-1 sound great with the Leema and Arcam CDP. Although, the Leema speakers should sound fine with that combo, as did my old RS6s.
