Looking to get some new monitors and was wondering how these were.
Gentleman has a pair for $800, wondering if it is worth it or if I
should go with something else.

Hi Christian, if you look for a perfect speaker, trie the SA200. In rooms up to 30qm you'll hear en excellent authentic speaker. Caution:bad records will sound so. In rooms more than 30qm in may be perhaps possilble, that you miss the ultimate bass-power and pression (...).

I have a pair (bought MUCH cheaper than $800 used) - they're great. No
fatigue for extended use, and I really like they way they give
essentially the same balance at medium and higher listening levels.
Much easier to monitor at safe levels and get reliable results.

I really liked the whole Spendor line (except for the bigger three-way
system they sold), and I was very upset when they dropped production of
the studio monitors. They really never had time to get a toehold in the
US market before they were pulled, but they were extremely clean sounding
and very good deals.

Scott, did you ever try any sub with them?

No, I'm not a big fan of subwoofers for the most part. They're a lot of work
to integrate properly. It can be done, but it can be a long struggle.

Nobody. Spendor pulled out of the studio monitor market two years or so
ago. Which is a real shame.

Having Spendor Surround speakers in the TV room and a pair of Spendor100's on
the old McIntosh 60's for phono listening, you've piqued my interest...I gotta
hear these!
