"dull and lifeless" was an appropriate phrase.
Thanks - your advice makes perfect sense.
I certainly did not really believe the Spendors were not good speakers (well, maybe I did panic a little). I certainly wanted them to be!
For the record, the little Sony is an STR-AV320 which "says" 100W and means 50wpc. We know a Bryston/Krell/Linn 100W is very different from a Sony "100W"
But/And fortunately, happen to have more than one, more than adequate amp to try this with. I'll try to report back, to give the Spendors their due.
I guess this means maybe I should get a Real amp for the playroom, too., huh?
In the meantime, can someone recommend a speaker that might work? I think the 4 ohm Kans do stress the little bugger a bit.
