Full 3 way speaker with large 22cm woofer. Finished in beautiful cherry veneer. They are absolutely stunning, the control, depth and air around the sound is shocking.
Advantage S101
Predecessor to the Bladelius Thor MKII. Having heard the Thor, the differences are barely audible! 165w per side, liquid smooth sound, very detailed and well suited to the Spendors.
Apple Mac Mini
Mac Mini running iTunes - some compressed, some uncompressed, but overall I have a digital jukebox of 70,000 tracks. Controlled with Front Row, or wireless mouse & keyboard
Edirol FA-66
Don't be fooled - my Edirol FA-66 is a powerful sound-card and DAC in an exceptionally rugged red box! Connected via firewire to the mac mini, this handles all digital to analogue information with ease. Upsampling to 192khz
Chord Odyssey 4 Bi-wire
Had these for years now, still work great considering I don't believe cables make a huge difference..
Samsung R73-40
I use this as the monitor for the Mac mini - which is great, because it also works as an extremely function DVD player with VLC, as well as a great HD source..
Merlin Tarantula
Mains cable connected to the amp. Never really noticed a difference to be honest..
It makes me happy to see someone else who appreciates the difference that high-quality components make to the sound, but doesn't buy into the crap about power cords and speaker cable. Psychoacoustics can have a powerful placebo effect on our ears, and parsing out real information from the white-noise of reviews and dealers is a real talent.
Almost had them for a week now - I am still absolutely blown away every time I listen.. can't see me making any changes for a long time - The spendors do expose bad recordings for what they are!
Nice speakers! - how about a bluetooth card for the mac mini and use a wireless keyboard and mouse from the listening position....or a wireless keyboard with built-in track ball to sit in your lap at the listening position and a USB dongle receiver plugged in the mac-mini...
