AJ - I guess we all hear things differently. Plus, you own SET whereas I own solid state (and Spendor and Harbeth are typically driven by solid state). I think the Spendor classic series, described in broad strokes, sounds colored, i.e., overly romantic in the mids and recessed above and below. They also sound boxy in the midbass / lower mids due to the traditional BBC thin-wall cabinet design (which is designed to shift the box resonance below the critical midrange). All Harbeths I suspect may sound boxy in this manner as well since its the same BBC cabinet design. I think the S8e is honest and involving. It's certainly not flabby whatsoever in the bass (driven by solid state). I suspect Spendor is voiced with SS amplification (and I know Harbeth is).
