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.
