Beschrijving

In optische nieuwstaat een set buitengewoon muzikale luidsprekers te koop van de Britse luidsprekerfabrikant Spendor. Google zeker even naar recensies om een goed beeld te krijgen van wat deze luidsprekers in huis hebben en waartoe ze in staat zijn. Kom zeker luisteren* om dit ook zelf te verifiëren. 

Bouwjaar is 2008. Introductieprijs (2005): 3.590 Euro. Naar inflatie gecorrigeerde prijs anno 2024 is 5.067 Euro.

Luidsprekers klinken groots. Akoestisch, vocaal, jazz, klassiek, het is om van te smullen. Daarbij klinken de speakers nooit vermoeiend (i.e. spendor sound). En wat ik zelf erg fijn vind, ook op laag volume blijven de speakers veel luisterplezier geven. 

 *Te beluisteren: Arcam FMJ A38 (A/B 105w)

Reden verkoop: de set heb ik recentelijk overgenomen van de eerste eigenaar, maar mijn ‘gezin’ vind ze achteraf te groot voor in onze huiskamer. Tja... (ter vergelijk: ze zijn ongeveer even groot als het huidige model Spendor A7).

Ter vergelijkking: laatste opvolger in deze lijn is de fenomenale Spendor D7.2 (set nieuwprijs 7.244 Eur).

“The Spendors, however, are seamless. So much so I almost forgot to think about it. I haven’t much more to say, really. The Spendors may have shortcomings, but I did not find them. Clean, clear, transparent, detailed, allowing the flow of music to dance its continuous way through valleys, down thundering waterfalls, to sparkle on the grass, to pool in sweet melodies, these speakers seem complete and entirely wonderful to me”.

“That said, the S8e fully addresses all aspects of the S5e's limitations. Yes, the S8e costs 60% more than the S5e, but it is still a modestly priced speaker given that many speakers these days are many multiples of the S8e's current $3,200 list price. For those who are interested in music, Spendors should be on anyone's short list of speakers to audition.”

“Now having several listening sessions with a wide variety of material under my belt, I can report the S8e fully addresses the limitations of it's smaller brother. The bass is solid and deep without booming, the extra cabinet height addresses image issue noted above, and the midrange is completely clear while maintaining the beautiful tone balance that made Spendors famous.”

“So. At the risk of sounding naïve and overblown, I’m going to give you my true thoughts on the Spendor S8e: Buy it. For $3000 you are, I swear it, getting as close as a whisker to $30,000 in sound. Glorious, house-filling sound”.

“Spendor S8e is the true kings of timbre and deep bass! It copes with acoustic instruments and human voice surprisingly well and the ability to penetrate into the depths of LF-range would do credit to speaker systems of much larger volume.”

“Well I had a pair a few years back and I liked 'em fine, though they're not to everyone's taste, and its kind of hard to describe how speakers sound but here goes... Very detailed and accurate in the mid and treble but not at all harsh, nice firm bass - clean but definitely not bloated. The mix is always clear and seperate - kind of an 'airy' sound. They sounded particularly good with acoustic/vocal or classical stuff. May not be the ideal choice for dance or anything else really bass heavy, but actually good amplification makes a difference - mine took a major step up when I got some Cyrus monoblocks. “

"If a clean, clear and unforced sound is a priority for you, these speakers could well be the perfect choice. They're even-handed to the point that they're equally comfortable getting on the funk-bus with Prince or donning a suit and tie for an evening with Mahler."

“Beautifully natural, with no trace of forcing or aggression...delivers a balance surprisingly close to my thirty year old BC1's, which is no bad thing since few if any designs have been better voiced than that classic monitor."
