Spendor D7.2

SPENDOR D7.2: An Unparalleled Listening Experience

The Spendor D7.2 speakers offer a dynamic and pure sound experience, revealing every nuance of the performance with absolute clarity and resolution. Thanks to a sophisticated design, these speakers do not require precise placement in the listening room. Compatible with any type of amplifier, whether it’s a low-powered tube amplifier or a powerful transistor amplifier, the D7.2 is easy to drive and highly efficient.

Subtle Innovations and High Performance

At first glance, the D7.2 might appear identical to its previous version. However, Spendor's engineers have worked tirelessly to make significant, albeit discreet, improvements. The 95 cm high cabinet has been revised with asymmetrical bracing and low-mass polymer dampers, making the structure more rigid and providing a stable base for the drive units.

The already solid and well-damped cabinet is available in five real wood veneer finishes: Black Ash, Cherry, Dark Walnut, Natural Oak, and Satin White. The magnetically held grilles are designed to minimize sound degradation when in use.

A Precise Tweeter

The distinctive LPZ (Linear Pressure Zone) tweeter features a stainless steel front plate forming a damped acoustic chamber in front of the woven polyamide diaphragm. This allows the diaphragm to operate more linearly by balancing air pressures on both sides, minimizing phase issues, and improving dispersion.

Performance in Electronic Music

During our tests, the D7.2 took a few days to reveal their full potential. Initially, the sound might seem thin and forward, but it stabilizes over time. Once broken in, these speakers demonstrate impressive responsiveness and agility. For example, when listening to high-impact electronic tracks, the D7.2 respond with remarkable speed and power, accurately reproducing every sonic detail.

Classical Music: A Sonic Revelation

When listening to complex classical pieces, such as orchestral symphonies, the D7.2 exhibit balanced tonality and perfect integration between the drivers. They create an expansive and well-structured soundstage, even during the most dynamic and complex passages.

Smoothness and Precision on Ballads

Even with quieter and more introspective tracks, the D7.2 shine with their high resolution while remaining coherent and rhythmically stable. They allow listeners to dive into the details of the recordings while offering an immersive and enjoyable listening experience.

Conclusion

The Spendor D7.2 speakers require special attention to placement to fully exploit their impressive transparency and resolving power. However, once properly set up, they deliver exceptional sound performance and an unparalleled listening experience.
