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.

Link to Product website

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.

@kren0006 Thank you so much for great info! Learning a lot about speakers here in A'gon.

@glow_worm I am considering a used integrated Amp from PrimaLuna or a used Ma252 from Mcintosh for having tube pre-amp system. But, I am a newbie and will probably have to research on amp matching separately. I am totally unfamiliar with 35 PL tube.

@glow_worm Thanks for clarifying that out lol There seems quite a number of used PL tubes out there and I would love try them out once I make the decision on speakers.

@kren0006 Yes, I noticed the A4s have the woofer edges cut out to have the cabinet shape. I thought it was okay, but seemed a little compromised sound-wise, externally. I’ve just read your posts about the A2, A4, A7, and D7 in other threads btw! Great help.
