The value proposition for a lot of people might have to come from another place. For me, a great company that makes itself relevant year after year. I want to support them for being Spendor. But I also think/ experience a fantastic sounding speaker. I would spend the money whereas other people might well- rightly, judge this to be overpriced.
@@enigmatwist6548 I think you have nothing to do and comment, so you don't fall asleep. Spendor does not even make drivers. There is nothing made in the house, just assembled. the components are of poor quality, you may have a spendor and it hurts to find out that they are cheap components. Calm down and don't take it personally, it's not the only brand that does it
Spendor design and manufacture every key component in every Spendor loudspeaker inhouse in the UK. That includes Spendor drivers, cones, cabinets and crossovers through to winding their own crossover inductors (coils) and thermo-forming EP77 cones. I don’t know what audio capacitors they use but I doubt they would ever use anything that would impede the sound quality for the sake of saving a few pennies. I appreciate building your own speakers is a lot more involving and in some ways educational but don’t start carrying on like your some sort of maestro speaker builder because you’ve managed to cobble together a few parts. Although do please prove me wrong, start your own company and knockout a few PureMusic specials. Get some rave reviews and make yourself a fortune, I do like surprises.
But crossover Design also plays big role in sound. Not only parts. It's good design of crossover. Parts were selected to alter sound, doesn't mean higher resolution will be more pleasant sound:)
Nice drivers and veneer. Sadly the cabinet is not marine ply like they used to be and the crossover has electrolytics, iron core inductors and sand cast resistors, none of these good for high resolution....Not great for the price....
I'm also very curious, I have the Spendor SP 1/2 R2, I've owned them for 12 years and still love them. So musical and the bass these speakers can produce will surprise many.
Too much BS for nothing, with 23.500 GBP can buy a pair of a muscle and quality ESS amt series that could set those Spendors straight to the fire place and still have money to put a deposit down to buy a flat....Jesus Christ
@@hxosplus I am almost 50 years old and so far had endless audio experience from 1 pound speakers to $$$$$$$ , I can honestly say that there are so many other brands out there at a fraction of a cost that could give you if not the same for sure better results without breaking the piggy bank. All the rest are bollocks.
@@dkaloupis75 Hi, How are you? I was just about to buy a pair of Spendor's Classic 100 and after reading your comment here. I would like to ask you to kindly recommend another brand that could give me the same or better results for a cheaper price. I live in the Caribbean and have no way to audition any speakers. I would appreciated your help. Thanks in advance.
Just another briit shoe box design. Just checken the price. Almost 7000 euro's. I fell from my chair laughing because it Just had to be a joke for this crap quality and cheap parts, completely outdated and non innovatieve. Man i bought speakers 40 years ago which where more modern.

Ομορφο ,ποιοτικο και classic !! Παιζει παρα πολυ καλα α λ λ ά η τιμη του εχει ΄΄ξεφυγει΄΄.
Με άριστα το 10 παίρνει 4 οπότε λεφτά για πέταμα
For the price asked for these speakers, the components on the filters are a shame! Respect for what are you duing
@@Zenos174 MUNDORF MCap, JANTZEN AUDIO Superior , Obbligato-Cap, ClarityCap,
@@Zenos174 they like giving consumers the middle finger
Those components are designed and built in house, not cheap Chinese rubbish. Learn about the brand before talking nonsense.

The black material is bitumen
And the crossover is good but doesn’t have the best parts.
But these are amazing speakers

You are right
Nice drivers and veneer. Sadly the cabinet is not marine ply like they used to be and the crossover has electrolytics, iron core inductors and sand cast resistors, none of these good for high resolution....Not great for the price....
But one thing they doing absolutely right is real wood veneer build, except it's not in curved shape.
Cheaply made, using cheap components, then sold for massive profits. Most speakers are about 75% markup at the dealer from cost to manufacturer.
Man they used alot of sound damping to this speaker. Seemed a bit excessive!! Nice video
Thanks for watching!
How long have Spendor been designing speakers .
@@r423sdex I don't know for sure but I would think 50 years or so.
Wow there's a lot of armchair accoustic engineers here
seems those Jumper are VDH
Unbelievable! There's no way to justify the price.
I want buying Spendor Classic 4/5 . Until i watching your video....
Look good how do they sound?
I'm also very curious, I have the Spendor SP 1/2 R2, I've owned them for 12 years and still love them. So musical and the bass these speakers can produce will surprise many.
The crossover looks a little busy and lower cost parts.
It's common for most speakers these days.
@@hxosplus Right but should not be when it cast this much.
Got a set of QLN, all high end parts in the crossover.
@@jasonme3557 Yes, the small companies provide better parts.
Cheap parts in the crossover.

But sounds good.

@@richarddegannes2928 If I may ask what is your amplification stage and set up?
You sound like Iñigo Montoya
MDF cabs!! Should be ply!!

Man i bought speakers 40 years ago which where more modern.
Which ones?
I think most people buy based on how they sound . You I guess buy with other criteria in mind.
@@davidhardaker192i think they sound exactly as they look . Outdated and low value for money.
Just cheap crap marketed
as high end or something.
@@brugj03 You think they sound, that's a brilliant way to judge.
@@RennieAsh He does not know.
only that made from cheapest wood like paper panels 😂😂
Absolutely ridiculous price for old crap
you are right
