Spendor S-8e Floor standing speakers in Cherry finish.  Classic British Spendor speaker.  Very even-handed, great all around performer. Hugely musical and long term listenable.  Last US retail was $4200. 
The comments below are taken from a 6 Moons review and cover the qualities and performance of the speaker quite effectively:



If you're chasing a pair of speakers at €4,000, listen to the Spendor S 8e and bring more than 15 minutes. Only then switch to another option and ascertain whether something didn't just fall apart. Never mind British understatement - in my opinion the Spendor S 8e is a speaker of the first rank.


Conclusion:


  • For a 2-way of its size, the Spendor S 83 goes astonishingly low, albeit a bit soft at the very bottom. Free placement and good amplifier damping are assets. The upper bass is fast, defined and full - but dry as bricks it ain't.

  • The midrange is a true marvel of balance, perfectly integrated above and below for utter seamlessness. Vocals in particular exude a wonderful charm, a natural softness that's hard to find.

  • The treble is open, nuanced and of long-term fitness, i.e. never aggressive or hyper. More resolution and air are possible but this speaker values coherence, not isolated peak performances.

  • The soundstage is of good width and particularly well layered. Localization cues are more about conveying the presence of bodies in a specific place than sweating millimeter precision.

  • This speaker is dynamic, goes loud and remains linear to never tip at elevated levels. She can thus double as a wicked party animal without worries.

Dimensions:  36.5" H x 9" W x 13" D.
