Spendor unveils D1 speaker

Spendor has just announced details of its latest speaker – the D1 standmounters.

The D1s will be the entry-level speakers in Spendor's D-line, and come as the successors to the SA1 mini-monitors.

The company has fitted the D1s with its D-line drive units, which comprise a 15cm Spendor mid/bass unit for low frequencies, and its new LPZ tweeter for treble reproduction.

Spendor claims the D1s provide a "charming sound" alongside surprising clarity and definition for speakers of their size – at just 30cm high they're the smallest in the D-line.

The company says the D1s are versatile enough to be placed in any living space, either close to a wall or on a bookshelf. They also have their own stands, which are available for £595 a pair.

The D1s are available in three finishes; Spendor Dark, Spendor White and Dark Ebony for £1795 a pair.

The speakers were launched at Audio Lounge in London, which currently has the D1 loudspeakers on show, should you wish to try before you buy.

But being the wonderful English guy he is, he helps out with content across a number of Future sites, including What Hi-Fi?. It wouldn't be his first exposure to the world of all things hi-fi and home cinema, as his first role in technology journalism was with What Hi-Fi? in the UK. Clearly he pined to return after making the move to Australia and the team have welcomed him back with arms wide open.
