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.

The Spendors are checking a lot of boxes as I contemplate a new speaker purchase in 2019.  I plan to audition quite a few.  My question for this thread is what others thoughts would be between the D7 and D9 for use in a 20x15 room with 9.5 ft ceilings.  Which are better suited, all things being equal (which I know they never are)?  Standing at only 34 inches tall, the D7s seem a little small but I understand they project a large soundstage.

Ditto @avanti1960 .  My D7s are now at the 250 hr mark and have sweetened incredibly since the first ~100 hrs, especially in the highs which are much more rounded and lack the initial edge that others describe.  I heard these at AXPONA and knew they were the speaker for me but I also know that Spendor demos these with more 500 hrs on them.  Galen Carol (who I bought them from) indicated they will continue to break in for the first 500 hrs.  Patience is certainly rewarded with these.
