avforums online review – October 2017
“The sheer realism that the Spendor (A1) brings to voices and instruments is utterly uncanny – something which isn’t simply good for around £1,000 but genuinely outstanding full stop. What the bald numbers can’t convey is just how good the A1 is to listen to. HiFi speakers at almost any price – certainly many multiples of this one – are a compromise of maximising the qualities you want and minimising the attendant deficits and for me, this is speaker where the positives far outweigh the deficits. The A1 is simply enormous fun to listen to in a way that many other speakers can only dream of. That it achieves this enjoyment through a design approach that ensures that its performance is also fundamentally accurate is even more appealing.”
The Audiophile Man, online review – October 2017
“OK, look, I’ll cut to the chase with this one. These are stand mounted speakers, a little over £1,000. Even at this price point, you often hear compromises in emphasis, some do great bass and iffy mids, others are vice versa, some offer the looks but no sound quality, some sound great but look like a 5 year old’s school project and so on. You know the sort of thing, I’m sure. The A1s somehow look, feel and sound ‘right’. This review really took 30 seconds. I couldn’t help it. After that time, I had to nod and say “Yes” to myself. The A1 speakers will have you mentally nodding and giving the thumbs up. They exude plenty of confidence and security. You know that these speakers will give you quality sound and no nasty surprises. I’ve yet to hear any speaker in this size/price point which is superior. The A1 has it all.” – Paul Rigby
