I got a Spendor S3/5R2 for a home audition for a week time and I really liked it for the midband tonality and the Voice reproduction. Also looks like it pairs well with my electronic , One down side of this is that low level dynamics is not good compared to other bigger FS that i owned and compared side by side at that time.
Now i am planning to buy for a FS - A3 from Spendor or a next level BS which is SA1 which more popular and highly rated compared to A3 .
The Drivers for the SA1 and A3 is exactly the same expect for the cross-over which is little high for the SA1 , apart from the obvious difference in FS vs BS.
From the reviews SA1 looks large scale sound compared to it size , but A3 is diminutive in scale , which is don't understand , given that drivers are same and A3 has got the bigger enclosure .
My requirement is here
1) S3/5R2 like mids/voice , which i assume both A3 and SA1 will have
2) More bass energy - Clean and un-distorded sound .
3) No trace of brightness , roll-off high a bit is ok with me .
Has any one heard this model and suggest which one is more suited here .
This will be a blind purchase as i can not travel to Dealer's location .
Any feedback is much appreciated .
