Spendor Audio is not the only loudspeaker maker with a BBC pedigree, but perhaps no other line is as synonymous with the British sound.
Spendor Audio has added two loudspeakers to their lineup. The Spendor SA1 (inset) is a bookshelf model using brand new drivers. The 6" woofer boasts a magnesium alloy chassis and a new magnet. The 22mm tweeter is a textile dome with a wider than usual surround. The Spendor SA1 does not have a provision for biwiring, which seems to be a growing trend. The SA1 is available in light oak, walnut, ebony, zebra wood and gloss black. The 40" tall Spendor ST1 is a floorstanding design that gets the job done with a 7" kevlar composite woofer coupled with a new 7" Spendor midbass driver and a brand new 29mm wide surround textile dome tweeter. The enclosure of the ST1 is high gloss black lacquer, and the baffle sports an attractive inlay. Choices for the inlay include a range of wood veneer, leather and metallic.
Pricing on the ST1 is approximately $10,000/pair and the SA1 will set you back $2,000/pair.
