Anyone know what the revised Spendor is like ansd what changes have been made? Is this available yet? Perhaps there is a little more punch in the bass which has been criticised for in the past!

A bespoke bass driver, and the HF unit from the more expensive models, which I believe is the same HF used in the PMC Fact 8's. Could be quite special....

Many thanks for the information, any idea when the new model will be available?

I'm assuming it'll be readily available afetr the show 
I think that would miss the point of what the S3/5Rs are about. Those who want the 'punch' (from the same sized box) get SA1s and those who want to still enjoy the BBC LS3/5A 'sound' go for S3/5Rs.
I doubt Spendor will want to 'rock the boat' too much and the S3/5R2s will probably be an evolution or refinement of the same basic 'recipe'.
We'll see.
