If you have the extra grand and you aren't in a very small room. The Spendor is the better speaker. The PMC is very good but the Spendor is exceptional.
How would you compare 7.2 to Kudos Super 20a? I have Naim Nova.
Thanks for that, I'll certainly check them out. I suppose I'm hoping to recreate the balance of the KEF's with 'abit more', - tight punchy bass but not overblown, highly musical and rolled off at the top end as I'm quite treble sensitive. My room is 17ft x 13ft with a 9.5ft vaulted ceiling so hoping its pretty accommodating for a range of floorstanders, though limited to max 2ft to rear of speaker.I've been researching floorstanding speakers around this price point for a friend recently. Way too many options out there, but great fun exploring.
I've got plenty of thoughts to help 'expand' your shortlist! Some key sets as below:
Dynaudio Evoke 30
PMC Twenty5 23i
ProAc Response d20r
I've been taken-in by the Spendor sound very much since my last personal speaker search and the A7's were my pick after quite a few demos at the £3k price point. Haven't heard the D7.2's yet, but if they're in any way a noticeable step up, they'd be right at the top of my shortlist.
But practical constraints often dictate in a living room too.
Enjoy the search.
Hi, what do you like more? D7.2 or Super 20a? ThanksHold that thought as I have a freshly arrived pair of 20As.
When you say rich, do you mean clean across all frequencies but with a hint of warmness? Ive still yet to get to hear a demo with them but would also like to compare to acoustic energy ae520 which I’m also considering.Just had a listen to the Spendor D7.2 today. I ordered a pair straight away.
Most speakers don't do treble clarity without sharpness. The D7.2s do treble clarity without sharpness. Just clean yet rich... That's how they come across.
Funny enough I had the Acoustic Energy AE509 on load for home demo and found the bass over powering for my room. 16 x 11 feet. Even so the bass of the AE509's was clean and deep. I suppose you must have a must bigger room to accommodate the AE520's.When you say rich, do you mean clean across all frequencies but with a hint of warmness?

Just got my Spendor's D7.2 speakers delivered today. Sound even better at home.
WOW... These speakers are just astonishing regardless of price, period.

Yep.. Once you listen you will want them.Cheers. That's pretty much what I thought.
They have these at my local dealer, but I am resisting the temptation to listen to them because I know I would want them.

@Paul7777x have you still got plans to visit Leeds & give these a listen?
Don't forget your credit card!
AgainYes indeed.
Around the week before Xmas now though.
Seems I’ll need to do a spot of burglary along the way. Again.
