Bookshelf Speakers — Spendor A1.2

The A1.2 is a bookshelf loudspeaker from Spendor, sharing identical chassis dimensions and weight with the original A1 while offering a somewhat different bandwidth. The A1.2 brings Spendor's revised current engineering to this specific updated position within the brand's catalogue.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 60Hz to 26,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB, somewhat different from the original A1's 55Hz-25kHz range. Sensitivity is a comparatively modest 83dB into the standard 8 ohm load, marginally lower than the A1's 84dB. Recommended amplifier power spans 25-100W, matching the A1. At 30.8 x 16.5 x 18.6cm and 4.8kg, the A1.2 shares identical dimensions and weight with the original A1.

Sound and use context

Expect the accurate, musically engaging character Spendor's broader British high-end catalogue is known for, delivered here within this updated A1.2 revision sharing the original A1's compact, lightweight chassis.

Pairing

The standard 8 ohm impedance and wide 25-100W recommended range suit a broad selection of amplifiers.

Alternatives

Spendor's own original A1 offers essentially the predecessor model within the same broader catalogue.
