my last system had spendor s100's and i used audio note's P2SE with wonderful results. It had only one input which was not a problem for me as I used my cd player as the only source. I believe that the 1/2's need a bit more power to drive than the 100's so the P2SE may run out of power if you like to really crank it up. if you can live with the 18 watts per channel you will enjoy music as real as you get in the home.
Spendor SP1/2E: Best Integrated Amp to Use?
Considering a new or lightly-used integrated amp (tube or SS) to replace the aging Linn LK-1/LK-2 combo currently driving a new pair of Spendor SP1/2E's, and would appreciate opinions, esp. from those who have used these loudspeakers. CDP is a Planet 2000; TT is Rega P2 (soon to go for Nottingham or VPI Scout?). What really makes the SP1/2E sing? The Linn system I have seems to lack grunt and resolution, although the sound is quite musical. I listen to all musical styles, usually at moderate SPLs. 14X14 room.
