Spendor Unveils News Flagship Loudspeaker

According to a company press release, English hi-fi manufacturer Spendor Audio is introducing the ST (Statement), its flagship 2.5-way loudspeaker.

The release continues by saying that for the ST Spendor developed a new 180 mm (7”) Kevlar composite bass driver, a 180 mm polymer cone mid-bass driver, and a wide-surround 29 mm tweeter with a bi-elliptical acoustic front plate. The ST features high-quality electrical components throughout, 630V capacitors, and WBT Next-Gen terminals. The company claims the phase-aligned configuration achieves exceptional clarity, focus, purity, and dynamics.

The release adds that like Spendor’s S Series speakers, the ST incorporates a linear flow reflex port that allows the speakers to be placed close to a wall with minimal adverse sonic effects. The cabinet is available in a piano black lacquer finish with exotic ebony, zebrano, or aluminum fascia inlays.
