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 consensus is that the Spendor D series is better than the Spendor A7. In a small room, 13X11, would the D7 be okay or would the bass be too much for the room? Since my last post, I did hear the A7 in my house and the bass was fine and not excessive. I worry the D7 with its two woofers will produce too much bass. Thanks
I have heard the A7 and was impressed with the amount of bass it could produce. The D7 has one bass driver and one that does bass and midrange (2 1/2 way). I have a 14 x 15 room with the D9 with it’s two true bass divers and it almost exceeds my room’s abilities but I do have a lot of room treatments. The D7 will have a more refined presentation than the A7.
@mushka, The D7 would be better suited to your room. You will be thoroughly disappointed with the D9 in a 13X11 room. If you can "pull" the D7s in the room, say about 36" from back wall and 18"-24" from side walls, you should have amazing music. Like @drrsutliff mentioned, the D9 will either overwhelm the room, or the bass waves will cancel out and kill your musicality.
