Offered is „For Sale: Spendor Classic 100 – Walnut“ by Spendor as second-hand device from the category „Bookshelf Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 2588459347 ends on 09.12.2026 at 11:09 o'clock.
This is a buyer’s market: at €6,199, this is a genuine bargain against the supplied used comparables. It sits well below the €7,355 25th-percentile figure and is roughly €2,300 under the €8,510 median, leaving substantial room for transport or stand costs without approaching typical market money.
The Classic 100 is a serious large stand-mount design, combining a 31cm Kevlar-composite woofer, dedicated EP77 midrange, and soft-dome tweeter for unusually authoritative bass, natural vocals, and an expansive, effortless presentation. Its 89dB sensitivity and nominal 8-ohm load make it broadly amplifier-friendly, while the scale and refinement are the real attractions. At this price, assuming both speakers are healthy and the grilles, terminals, and drivers are intact, it looks like an excellent buying opportunity.

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.
