Spendor A7 Floorstanding Speakers

The New Spendor A7 is a major revision of the highly acclaimed Spendor A6R floor standing loudspeaker. The result is a dramatic uplift in dynamics, resolution and low frequency articulation. The slim modern linear-form cabinet is styled and dimensioned to fit easily and unobtrusively into any living space. The 4th generation Spendor linear flow port ensures that music remains tuneful and articulate even when the A7’s are positioned close to a wall or in a small room. The A7 delivers music with striking clarity, excellent bass extension and a sensitively judged element of fun and charm. The A7 is easy to drive and it brings out the best from your amplifier.

SPENDOR 180mm BASS-MID DRIVE UNIT

At the heart of the A7 is a new Spendor designed and engineered 180mm bass-mid drive unit. It features an EP77 polymer cone and new surround and suspension materials with outstanding thermal and mechanical stability. The driver has excellent power handling and extremely good low-level linearity. Key electrical, mechanical and damping parameters have been optimised to ensure consistent low frequency performance and sound in any listening room.

CROSSOVER NETWORK

A meticulously refined crossover network integrates the drivers seamlessly to deliver vivid, dynamic, but always natural, sound. The crossover network has precision wound highlinearity tapped inductors which avoid the distortion introduced by attenuating resistors and allow very fine tuning of both frequency and phase response, which is essential to achieve a coherent balanced sound.

WIDE-SURROUND 22mm TWEETER

A 22mm wide-surround tweeter combines the extended frequency response of a small diaphragm with the low frequency characteristics of a larger diaphragm to give stable low distortion response over a very wide frequency range. The unique diaphragm profile delivers a smooth extended high frequency response over a very wide listening area. The tweeter has a protective mesh grille.

DYNAMIC CABINET DAMPING

Timing is fundamental to the musical experience. In conventional loudspeakers rigid high density cabinet panels are mass-damped to reduce cabinet-talk. Spurious energy is stored and released slowly. This creates unacceptable blurring and slowing of the sound. Spendor’s solution is Dynamic Damping. Small low mass constrained polymer dampers at key energy interface points instantly convert any spurious energy in the cabinet into inaudible heat. The result is a naturally fast engaging sound.

EASY TO DRIVE

Internal cables are high-grade silver plated pure copper with halogen free dielectric. High linearity audio grade capacitors and an easy to drive 8ohm load ensure uncompromised performance and complete compatibility with all good amplifiers and cables.

STABILISER INSERTS

The base of the plinth has four machined steel stabiliser inserts. These contribute to the neat appearance and good stability of the slim cabinets. The stabilisers are secured directly into the main structure of the cabinet so that micro-movement or flexing of the plinth and feet (which blur fine detail and destroy ambience) is eliminated.

NATURAL VENEER FINISHES

Available finishes are black ash, dark walnut, natural oak and satin white. The plinth has acontrasting black satin lacquer finish.
