The Spendor D-Line is simply the most detailed and revealing experience money can buy at this price point. The D-Line on first listen will stun you with an almost surgical precision in its imaging across the sound stage. It also will be brutally reveling of your components from the amplifier through to your cables and source too, leading to large reward and payoff when you make upgrades and find the right matching for your system. They are a speaker that will scale in performance with gear well above their asking price and will allow you to take them as far as the budget for the gear feeding it will allow.Do not let this scare you off however, whilst the D-Line is extremely precise it still retains and displays its "British sound". The tonality is beautiful and the presentation is far from sterile or lifeless. Play an intimate vocal performance and you will be transported right there with all the emotions on full display as you will feel you are sharing a room with the performers. The D series loudspeaker by Spendor provides a very strong argument that you need not spend more than 4 figures on a pair of speakers.
