Yep, wonderful evening yesterday with quad II with Spendor LS3. I don't think so any of the bookshelves with this size will reproduce the sound better and the combination with Quad has worked out..
oK to add few floor standers too will bite the dust.
The sound is forward and the music is flowing not from the speakers and it is as like from the stage performance. The voice is silky smooth and hours together we will not feel other things to do.
Added with that Lyrita DHT combination with Quad + Spendor is superb..... My problem with hum + screeching tape sound which i have in my house setup is not there for a minute in this combo, so have to check my connection and setup once again.
Tried A/B : Class D amp / Lyrita Pre + Cadence against above combo and Spendor & Quad combo excelled in voice reproduction and life like performance.
We have played the Cayin + Cadence in the closing session to recoup all the experience in the songs we played and found it have excess bass and it spoils the listening pleasure. It was slightly tweaked with closing the partial front port by socks and it could regain the performance.
However in the end Spendor LS3+ Quad II combo wins the day in the music performance and hearing pleasure.
