Spendor S3/5R2 at the Bristol Show

[paulsue38]

Anyone know what the revised Spendor is like ansd what changes have been made? Is this available yet? Perhaps there is a little more punch in the bass which has been criticised for in the past!

I think that would miss the point of what the S3/5Rs are about. Those who want the 'punch' (from the same sized box) get SA1s and those who want to still enjoy the BBC LS3/5A 'sound' go for S3/5Rs.

I doubt Spendor will want to 'rock the boat' too much and the S3/5R2s will probably be an evolution or refinement of the same basic 'recipe'.

We'll see.

A bespoke bass driver, and the HF unit from the more expensive models, which I believe is the same HF used in the PMC Fact 8's. Could be quite special....

Many thanks for the information, any idea when the new model will be available?
