I've owned both

And I like both. I would like to own neither anymore. The M30 is really nice, but very 'I'm a studio monitor, not a domestic speaker'. It has a sweet midrange, but just didn't engage me as much as I would have expected.

I actually preferred the Compact 7 ES2 (now in ES3 form which I haven't heard). But that is now over three grand for a 2-way 8" bookshelf speaker?

The Spendor is very nice...very polite. All this British stuff is insanely priced these days. The M30's are $4300 a pair. That's just nuts. The Magnepan MG12 at $1100 kind of clobbers all this over-priced British gear (and don't get me wrong, I love over-priced British gear, but enough is enough).
