Spendor announces new Classic R Series

72.197.37.183

This info was from the Spendor Yahoo groups. I'm just reposting here for anyone interested. This is all I know so can't answer any questions.

Spendor is replacing their "classic" speaker line up with a new
revised (and updated) range that will be know as the "classic R" range: SP3/1R, SP2/3R, SP1/2R, & SP100R.

Spendor ST1 is a beautifully styled and finished floorstanding loudspeaker
with performance and engineering beyond any previous Spendor design. It
features a specially developed Spendor 18cm Kevlar composite cone bass
driver, a new Spendor 18cm bass-mid driver and a new wide-surround 29mm
tweeter. Every engineering detail has been considered and ST1 refinements
include single wiring with WBT Next-Gen terminals and super-linear 630V
crossover capacitors for ultimate audio perfection. The clarity, focus,
purity and dynamics of this new design are quite exceptional. The main
cabinet is finished in high gloss black lacquer. The attached exhibition
snapshots show examples with Ebony and Walnut inlays. The inlays can be
selected from a complementary range of fine veneers as well as more striking
'hi-tech' metallic materials and leather and we will consider requests for
custom finishes and materials. UK retail price will be around £4,500 to
£5,000 per pair depending on finish. Dimensions of the ST1 are 1005 x 200 x
330mm (H x W x H), the slim cabinet disguises a substantial 45 litre
acoustic enclosure (For comparison S8e is about 41 litres) which ensures
deep powerful low frequency response. ST1 takes the Spendor Magic to a new
level of performance and style.

Spendor SA1 is simply the most musical and revealing mini-monitor
loudspeaker even created by Spendor. We've developed a brand new 15cm
bass-mid driver with magnesium alloy chassis, advanced surround material and
a new magnet system. Combined with a new 22mm wide-surround tweeter the
result is a wonderfully clear and natural sound with very convincing low
frequency response and excellent power handling. Here in the UK SA1 will be
offered in a range of smart modern finishes, Light Oak, Walnut, Ebony,
Zebrano and Hi-gloss black lacquer finishes. UK retail price will be £995.00
per pair for most finishes. SA1 is single wired for optimum sound quality
and consistent interface with a very wide range of amplifiers and cables.
