SPENDOR A1

Pair of bookshelf loudspeakers

The Spendor A1 is a compact bookshelf speaker that preserves the essence of the original model while introducing refinements that further enhance its performance. Its sound is characterized by captivating clarity, complemented by a subtle and natural warmth, delivering articulate and harmonious music reproduction even in small spaces or when positioned close to a wall. Its high efficiency makes it easy to drive, allowing it to bring out the best in any amplifier.

With a height of 308 mm and a depth of just 186 mm, the sealed-box design of the Spendor A1 ensures excellent placement flexibility, making it ideal for both shelves and dedicated stands. Despite its compact dimensions, the speaker delivers a full and balanced sound, with taut, controlled bass, a refined midrange, and an extended high-frequency response that adds airiness and definition. The optimized internal structure, featuring an advanced bracing system, minimizes unwanted vibrations and resonances, reducing noise levels and improving time coherence in sound reproduction.

At the heart of its design is the 15 cm EP77 polymer cone driver, an exclusive Spendor technology, developed to provide a natural and coloration-free sound, maintaining exceptional detail at both low and higher listening volumes. Designed and manufactured entirely in the UK, the Spendor A1 embodies the quality and excellence that define the brand.
