Thanks for the replies guys,
I currently have Proac D15 speakers, and i would say they appear to be the same as the Spendors in terms of warmth, so i guess at least in this sense they are made to the same standard. This never bothered me as i always thought i would move to the Spendors. The Spendors edge it in other areas, like bass articulation, less reserved dynamics, and best of all being able to be placed anywhere in the room including close the to rear wall
Yes, room acoustics will play a big part but from experience my room is not that bad as to rob any organics from a system.
I don't think its power issue otherwise using the Pro 220 would have proved that; and the fact that my Proacs are probably easier to drive than the Spendors - but the Spendors are i think a relatively light load. My experience of Naim amps is that yes they are warm but the warmth is a fake monochromatic one that is imparted by the amplifier, not warmth of the programme material. (happy to be correct here if anyone feels different) - this is my only block to being able to own a Naim amp otherwise love their ability to be rhythmic and fun.
The D7 can have a touch more forwardness in the sound that can make upper frequencies seem more pronounced but this I would say I have only noticed this to be very slight.
I assumed at all of the Devialet/Spendor demos at Bristol years they used Devialet Air on a mac book, surely using a mac book over a windows laptop wouldn't cause this difference would it?
Has anyone who have trialed various speakers with Devialet had any experience of finding speakers that were able to bring out the warmth?
