just googled the spendor sp200. look really nice in that dark wood effect finish (wrong description i know !) but i like how they are a "plain" looking box as such.Heard some Kef Blades with various large lumps of amplification, all being fed by one of those space ship look-a like turntables playing a 'classic album' Peter Gabriel I think. It was all set up in a small church hosted by Audio T. I didn't really enjoy the music TBH and did not place an order for the £30k Blades afterwards.
Back down to earth I was rather smitten with the £16.5K Spendor SP200 - they would go nice in my room![]()
Me too. Never been to a hifi show and don't know anyone who has a better system than me. I'm also not sure I'd want to - might breed some dissatisfaction.The one I currently own.....![]()
a complete top of the range msb system connected to the top of the range magico speakers is a true hi-end system i would love to hear !Well I heard a MSB DAC with Naim's entry pre-power and JBL 4312se and I was smitten - the JBLs are very raw sounding (which I'm usually sensitive to) but with the MSB there was just sheer joy. Also heard some accuphase and Copland stuff, and those were amazing too.
good point but my experience with the kef blades etc had the opposite effect !Me too. Never been to a hifi show and don't know anyone who has a better system than me. I'm also not sure I'd want to - might breed some dissatisfaction.
£1.6m - really ?!Kondo & Living voice circa £1.6m
Ah, but why run the risk, eh? The KEFs are utterly fugly, too.good point but my experience with the kef blades etc had the opposite effect !
Superb speakers! Heard them on the end of "hernia class" mono blocks (can't remember the make or model) and Chord Dave+M-Scaler combo fed by fancy streamer (Melco, I believe). That's the most impressive expensive system I've heard in a domestic environment. And I am fussyBack down to earth I was rather smitten with the £16.5K Spendor SP200 - they would go nice in my room![]()
Don't think they'd let me in a room with a setup like this. Especially after I'd pull up to a demo in a forklift.Kondo & Living voice circa £1.6m
did this system give you the impression that the performers / instruments were in the room with you ?Superb speakers!

You do need a rather large room for them but they're worth it.
I recall my good pal Sir Dave Attenborough* saying of diving to see aquatic life that you aren't going to see them, they are coming to see you. There's an analogy with good hifi in that you should feel like you are in the room with them rather than the reverse. Might seem like a small distinction, but you wouldn't want an orchestra in your living room!did this system give you the impression that the performers / instruments were in the room with you ?
There's room for so many double entendres there that I don't know where to begin...I heard a couple of mega sized horny speakers once, they made a nice big noise but it wasn't very natural.
Sadly not but it was a large living room with a huge bay window behind speakers. Let's say acoustically the room wasn't optimal. I'm sure with acoustic room treatment it would give you exactly that feeling. I've achieved amazing results in my old listening treated room with far lower priced gear. And even my new small control room with cheap studio monitors can be impressive.did this system give you the impression that the performers / instruments were in the room with you ?
£1.6m - really ?!
was you impressed ?
not impressed totally gobsmacked
one guy bought 2 one for his house & 1 for his yacht
never afford one a 100years but glad i sat in front of one for a few hours & proves the UK can still build the best at any price

Well I've just searched really hard. Currently removing hands from back of sofa, but damn I didn't find the 1.6milly in there I thought there might be. Therefore guess I'll need to wait for my turn to own and listen to this badboy system.Kondo & Living voice circa £1.6m
