What could be the differences between the Spendor A4 and A7 in terms of sound quality?
Hello fellow audiophiles!
I got recommendation for speakers and think Spendor A4 and A7 are really awesome for what they offer.

They use the same tweeter and the same size mid-bass unit. The cabinet is slightly taller on the A7 (33.9 inch for A4 vs 36.8 inch for A7) and the width also is only slightly wider for A7 (6.5 inch A4 vs 7.1 inch for A7) and deeper (11.2 inch A4 vs 12 inch A7). I can imagine A7 can go slightly deeper in bass and slightly higher in pitch.
Do you think A7 will sound better?
How would you chose between the two speakers?
My playlists consists of Jazz, Vocals, EDMs, Rap, Pop songs, and Classics.

Agree about the A’s appearance. Vinyl Sound makes grills for $189 I’m considering https://vinylsound.ca/products/splendor-a-grill Magnets attach to woofer screws, I assume the sound would be unaffected but can’t be sure. |
I’ve been researching the A4, A7 and D7 for quite a while. Generally forum comments lean toward the A7 (more base, fuller sound), the only trade off being the price difference. D7 is considered a step up, though many still prefer the A7 upper mids and highs. I’ve heard all 3 and am leaning to the A7. Cost isn't a consideration, i just don't want to make the wrong choice. What amp are you considering? The only thing holding me back is whether 35 PL tube watts will do. It seems that the impedance curve is fairly benign (min 5.7 ohm) and should work, I didn’t detect and problems during a listening session. |
