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.

So far I've tried D7, A4, A6R, and have an A7 on the way, being shipped tomorrow. 

I've run them mainly with an exposure 3010s2D and now with a Hegel h190

I didn't like the D7. I found it accurate but harsh especially on the upper end. And there was no love coming out of these speakers. Not for me.

The A4 however is a delight. It's just a loving speaker. It's inviting and warm and musical.

That's how I describe the A4

Tried the A6R after the 4 and found it airy. Not much of that inviting warmth of the A4.

 The D7  for me is scientific. the A6R  was like watching a well recorded show where you can drink cocktails in the back and chat.   The A4 just stopped everything for me. Intimately demanding my attention. With a great musical composition.

I find the D7 To be like those high DEF TVs that are 120 Hz and everything just looks overly precise.

So now I’m waiting for the A7 and I’ll keep you posted.  I think spendor are onto something very special with the new A line.
