Spendor A6R

Great dynamic attack ; Admirably rhythmic ; Stacks of detail ; Organised ; well-balanced

Treble could become too bright if paired with the wrong amp

Of course, this all comes at a premium that puts them towards the top of the price bracket compared with their competitors.

Clean, open, even sound; musicality; fine build

Looks are perhaps a little underwhelming

One of the very best mid-price floorstanders around
