The Spendor A7 Speakers: An Essential Benchmark
The Spendor A7 speakers stand out for their exceptional sound quality. They offer increased dynamics, fine resolution, and remarkable bass articulation, providing an immersive and refined listening experience.
An Elegant and Timeless Design
The Spendor A7, the big sisters of the A-Line series, are distinguished by their elegant simplicity. The build quality is impressive, with sharp edges and impeccable veneer finishes available in black ash, dark walnut, natural oak, and a premium satin white option. Their compact design allows them to easily integrate into most modern interiors.
British Craftsmanship for Top-Notch Quality
What makes Spendor unique is its ability to manufacture its own cabinets in the UK. The company even supplies cabinets to other British speaker brands, including some direct competitors. This craftsmanship translates into remarkable build quality and meticulous attention to detail.
Exceptional Sound Performance
Like previous models, the A7 are two-way speakers, equipped with an 18 cm mid/bass driver and a 22 mm tweeter. This configuration allows for optimal sound dispersion. The main change compared to the A4 is the cabinet size, which is 7 cm taller and 2 kg heavier, but also offers a significant improvement in dynamics, resolution, and bass articulation. These adjustments provide striking musical clarity and better bass control, offering a more immersive and refined listening experience while remaining compact enough to fit into most homes.
Installation and Positioning
To get the best out of the Spendor A7, it is recommended to position them about 20-30 cm away from a wall or corners. Thanks to their rear-firing slot-shaped reflex ports, they reduce noise and distortion while providing better bass control than a conventional tubular port. Slightly toeing the speakers in towards the listening position will give optimal stereo imaging and vocal focus.
An Enriching Listening Experience
The Spendor A7 stand out for their exceptional precision and clarity. Every instrumental and vocal detail is reproduced with impressive sharpness. They also add a lively dynamic that makes listening more engaging and vibrant. Whether you're listening to the melancholic compositions of Ólafur Arnalds or the energetic hip-hop of Salt-N-Pepa, the A7 navigate effortlessly through various musical genres.
An Amplification Recommendation
Although the A7 work well with most quality amplifiers, pairing these speakers with an amplifier like the Goldnote IS1000 can add a touch of warmth, offsetting their slightly lean character after break-in.
Conclusion
Refined yet entertaining, the A7 continue to demonstrate Spendor's mastery of precision, clarity, and subtlety, while offering extremely enjoyable dynamics and rhythm. If you are looking for a new pair of speakers, the elegant Spendor A7 should be at the top of your list.
The A7 offer notable advancements in dynamics, resolution, and bass articulation. They provide striking musical clarity and excellent bass extension while remaining compact enough to fit discreetly into any living space. In short, the Spendor A7 are an exceptional choice for any audiophile seeking an enriching and immersive listening experience.
