Price reduced!!Pristine walnut finish. As new condition. Only purchased 6 months ago and in light use for 2 months prior to reconfiguring system leaving no room for floorstanders unfortunately. Beautiful, detailed sound stage. Weighty bass presentation. An absolutely stunning pair of speakers all...
A$3,200 is essentially right on the market for a used Spendor A4 in AUD, sitting a touch below the A$3,203 median and just under the A$3,202–A$3,207 comparable spread. That makes this a fair buy rather than a bargain-bin score, but still squarely in sensible territory for a well-regarded floorstander.
The A4 is liked for its easy, natural midrange, tidy imaging, and smooth, unforced presentation that works well with vocals, jazz, and long listening sessions. If the cabinets, grilles, and driver surrounds are clean and the pair has been kept in a smoke-free room, the main upside is simply getting a very capable speaker at a clean market price; at this level, condition and provenance matter more than chasing a lower number.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Spendor, a quintessential British hi-fi brand, traces its origins to the late 1960s when BBC sound engineer Spencer Hughes and his wife Dorothy founded the company in Sussex, England—the name itself a clever fusion of "Spen" and "Dor." Drawing on Spencer's expertise alongside co-designer Dudley Harwood, they pioneered the BC1 loudspeaker in 1969, featuring the world's first commercial 8-inch plastic cone driver made from innovative Bextrene material. This breakthrough quickly established Spendor as the monitor of choice for broadcasters, recording studios, and discerning listeners worldwide, setting a benchmark for transparent, natural sound.
The brand focuses exclusively on loudspeakers, designing, engineering, and hand-building every driver, crossover, and cabinet in their Sussex facility. Their lineup spans the accessible A series for mainstream buyers, the premium D series for high-end performance, and the Classic line, which revives iconic designs like the BC1 with modern polymer and Kevlar cones, cast-magnesium chassis, and advanced motor systems. Spendor eschews amplifiers, turntables, or headphones, prioritizing pure speaker innovation rooted in BBC-honed precision.
Today, under owner Philip Swift since 2000, Spendor holds a revered position as a high-end, heritage British marque, blending vintage collector appeal with contemporary excellence. Renowned among audiophiles and professionals for smooth, low-distortion imaging and musicality, it remains a global reference standard, entirely made in the UK to captivate serious hi-fi enthusiasts.
