Spendor Classic 4/5

Spendor Classic 4/5

₨2,40,000

If you’re after great-sounding premium standmounters that are small, unfussy in nature and sound great without being pampered, the Spendor Classic 4/5 fit the bill. The smallest in the company’s retro-themed Classic range, in many ways, the Classic 4/5 are as modern as they come – despite a heritage that leans on BBC research carried out half a century ago.

Insightful and refined

We have long admired Spendor’s 22mm polyamide wide-surround dome tweeter. Having heard it in various models over recent years, we’ve never found it less than insightful and refined. Here, it’s mated to an in-house 15cm EP77 polymer mid/bass unit via a carefully calibrated, single-wired crossover. The crossover frequency is set unusually high at 4.2kHz (rather than the more common 2-3kHz range), meaning the larger unit handles the critical midrange region by itself, which is likely to be a good thing. The cabinet is an unusual sealed construction that prioritises low-end agility and tunefulness over muscle. Spendor’s engineers have made a brave choice here, as most rivals will be ported, giving them a (theoretical) advantage in sensitivity and low-end punch.

Pro-Ject nails the affordable Bluetooth turntable recipe

There are some combinations that work beautifully, even if you wouldn't necessarily consider putting them together in the first place. Beans on toast is an odd combination when you think about it, as is surf and turf, while carrots in a cake has no right to be as good as it is. Mixing poached eggs with smoked salmon is essentially combining poultry and fish, but no one complains when a bougie brunch spot has Eggs Royale on the menu, do they?
