Spendor | Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA

Spendor loudspeakers are available at Vinyl Sound USA Inc. in Buffalo, NY, your authorised Spendor dealer serving Western New York and the United States. Founded in 1969 by BBC research engineer Spencer Hughes and his wife Dorothy — the "Spen" and "Dor" behind the name — Spendor has spent over five decades applying broadcast-grade acoustic research to the design of loudspeakers that prioritise musical truth, natural tonal balance, and low coloration above all else. All Spendor loudspeakers are designed, engineered, and assembled at the company's South Yorkshire, UK factory, where proprietary EP77 polymer cone drivers, crossover networks, and Dynamic Damping cabinets are all developed and built in-house — an approach increasingly rare among premium loudspeaker manufacturers worldwide. The Spendor lineup at Vinyl Sound Buffalo spans the A-Line Mark 2 series including the A1.2, A2.2, A4.2, and A7.2, the D-Line series including the D7.2 and D9.2, and the Classic series including the Classic 4/5, Classic 1/2, Classic 2/3, Classic 3/1, Classic 100, Classic 100Ti, Classic 200, and Classic 200Ti.

The Spendor A7 is one of the most decorated loudspeakers in What Hi-Fi? history, winning the What Hi-Fi? Award for Best Premium Floorstanding Speaker for six consecutive years from 2018 through 2024 — an unmatched run that established the A7 lineage as the defining benchmark for British floorstanding speaker performance at its price point. What Hi-Fi? described the A7 as "refined yet entertaining" with "stunning precision, clarity and subtlety combined with hugely enjoyable dynamics and rhythm." The Spendor A7.2 — launched at the Bristol Hi-Fi Show 2025 and now available at Vinyl Sound Buffalo — succeeds the six-time Award winner with a new 27mm soft-dome rear-chambered tweeter, redesigned 180mm EP77 polymer cone mid/bass driver, updated crossover crossing at 2kHz, and new port arrangement, while maintaining the elegant, compact cabinet that made the original A7 so easy to accommodate in real-world listening rooms. The Spendor A4.2 received the prestigious Diapason d'Or Award from Diapason Magazine and the Red Fingerprint Award from HighFidelity.pl, confirming the A-Line Mark 2's position as a reference-standard loudspeaker series across international markets.

The Spendor D-Line series — D7.2 and D9.2 — elevates performance with the proprietary LPZ high-frequency driver, Kevlar composite cone bass drivers, and fifth-generation Twin-Venturi Linear-Flow port technology, delivering extraordinary resolution and dynamic transparency calibrated to broadcast reference standard. The Classic series embodies Spendor's BBC heritage most directly, with thin-walled damped cabinet construction and dedicated EP77 midrange drivers delivering the warmth, authority, and musical coherence of the original BC1 broadcast monitor that defined British speaker design in the 1970s. Competing British loudspeaker brands including Harbeth, Graham Audio, and ProAc share Spendor's BBC engineering heritage, but Spendor's full in-house manufacturing capability — from raw driver components through finished cabinet — gives it a unique degree of acoustic control that rivals sourcing drivers externally cannot match.
