Tried the D7, thought they were good - very nicely balanced, but thought the PMC 24 was marginally better and the 26 substantially better (as it should be given the price!)

Interesting - I didn't try the 23. My choice of the 26 was certainly influenced by the fact that I will be using them in a very large room in any case. I liked the D7, certainly well worth checking out head-to-head. I suspect SAM must be close for the D7 too, there are a huge number of votes on the site now. From trying SAM on a number of speakers, the PMC implementation seems very good, I didn't find it as striking on other brands.

I do own the Spendor D7's and audited them at home with the Devialet 200. I was sold. Have ordered the Devialet (to be expected by the end of may) and already booked a trip to Paris (with my girlfriend AND Spendor's :-) to let Devialet do their magic for SAM on the Spendor's.
So, if everything is going as planned, the Spendor D7's will be SAM ready after 6 may...!
