Spendor D7 vs. Spendor A7


I recently listened to a pair of Spendor D7 speakers and was very impressed by them.  Has anyone heard them and compared them to the Spendor A7?  Unfortunately, I am not able to hear them at the same time.  Talking to a dealer over the phone, he said they sound very different.  Any relevant opinions will be appreciated.  
Thank you.

I own the Spendor D9s and have spent time with the A7s.  I am going to assume the D7s are closer to the D9s than the A7s.  The A7s are fun speakers with surprising bass extension but lack the clarity in the highs that the “D” series supplies.  Very different levels of performance.  
I have heard the A7 and was impressed with the amount of bass it could produce. The D7 has one bass driver and one that does bass and midrange (2 1/2 way).  I have a 14 x 15 room with the D9 with it’s two true bass divers and it almost exceeds my room’s abilities but I do have a lot of room treatments. The D7 will have a more refined presentation than the A7.
