F/S: one pair of Spendor S6 speakers in maple. These are in terrific shape except for one small dent on a back corner of one of the speakers (happened in shipping to me -- I am the second owner). I would rate these as a 7-8. The dent is not obtrusive and is not seen unless you are standing over top of the speakers. If not for the corner dent, these would be a 9, easy. These are not the S6e series speakers but the previous model.
They sound great and would make a fine addition to a mid-range stereo system. Front porting means they can be placed close to a front wall. I am selling to free some funds for other expenditures. Enclosed are some pictures (I have tried to show the one blemished corner as best I can given my limited photography skills) as well as a more full explanation from the previous owner -- he described these far better than I can.
Asking $SOLD. PayPal add 3%. If you have any questions, please contact me at dburna@sbcglobal.net and we can arrange a time to talk. I plan to list these on Audio Circle for a week before posting an additional ad on Audiogon.
Thanks for your consideration, -dB

Spendor S6 in gorgeous Maple veneer. Gently driven in a small bedroom
system...never abused. No children, pets, smoke or direct sun.
Pics were just taken in natural light, and give a fair representation
of actual condition. This slim and elegant floorstander will fit just
about anywhere and never dominate your space. Front porting allows
placement near walls, and in tight places.
This is the model just before the current, and highly acclaimed, S6e.
Several models in the "e" lineup are S'phile B, and are described as:
"Impressively big sound...superb spatial presentation...apparent lack
of pitch distortion...good scale...utterly faultless pacing...bass in
virtually perfect proportion to a clean, open, and pleasantly airy top
end...excellent balance...gloroius midrange combined with stunning
harmonic presentation...resolution, focus, coherency...seamless sound
that is always honest and convincing."
Size and specs for S6 are virtually identical to S6e. I do not believe
the flavor varies significantly. S6e is currently $2,600. Get some of
the same magic for a fraction of the cost!
http://www.qsandd.com/s.htmVery smooth sounding speaker with the Spendor midrange magic in spades.
Stellar retrieval of inner detail, and a soundstage that is open and
expansive. Overall, a beautifully balanced and natural sounding speaker
that always serves the music, and provides an involving listening
experience.
Easy to drive, even with low powered tubes. To great effect, I have
used ASL 845 monos, ASL KT88 integrated, Dodd 120 monos, Music
Reference RM-200, and even an old Sansui 771 receiver. Coherent and
amazing sound from all.
Complete with everything: manual, jumpers, grill covers, spikes, etc.
Hate to see these go but am liquidating the second system to free up
some floor space.
