SA 1
The Spendor SA1 is the most musical and revealing loudspeaker ever created by Spendor. You will be captivated by its charming sound, surprised by its clarity and definition, assured by performance and engineering of the highest order, and delighted by luxurious modern finishes.
To complement the SA1 we have created an optional matching stand. Within the smooth flowing form is a rigid, light, non-resonant structure complete with a front inlay to match the finish of SA1.
The sealed box design together with an optimally damped low frequency alignment result in dynamic, articulate bass regardless of room positioning, even if used close to a wall.

"These little Spendors have a dizzyingly fast sound, and one which is brilliantly integrated right through the frequency range. This means the bass, mid and treble all stop and start as fast as my reference Quad electrostatics, giving whatever music you a play freshness that is hard to live without when you move to larger loudspeakers." "The Spendors gave surprisingly full yet taut and fluid bass... Treble was impressively spacious... The Spendors picked out her vocal phrasing with uncanny clarity... not what you usually get at this price point. Impressively, as the song built up in complexity and moved to a dynamic crescendo, the speakers held up effortlessly..." "Infectiously musical sound - smooth, spacious treble - exquisite build & finish" |
