Spendor A2.2 (2025)
The Spendor A2.2 is a compact, two-way floorstanding loudspeaker from the company's enhanced A-Line Mark 2 series, which debuted at the Bristol Show in 2025. It's the floorstanding sibling to the A1.2 standmount in that range, and it builds on the earlier A2 with new internal bracing and a redesigned crossover — changes reported by What Hi-Fi? across the redesigned A Line. The A-Line sits at Spendor's entry point, though at £1,995 per pair (around $3,198), it's firmly at the premium end of that category.
The design is a true "mini" floorstander — 786mm tall and just 11.4kg — intended to fit unobtrusively into a living room while offering more bass extension than the bookshelf A1. The drive units are Spendor's proprietary 15cm EP77 polymer bass/mid cone paired with a 22mm polyamide-dome tweeter, crossed over at 4.2kHz. The rear-ported cabinet is rated at 83dB sensitivity, 8 ohms nominal impedance, with a frequency response of 46Hz–26kHz and 100 watts unclipped programme handling. Finish options include black oak, and the speaker ships with height-adjustable spike feet and magnetic grilles.
Documentation on the A2.2 is still thin — it's a current model, and most of what's available is dealer copy rather than independent critical review. The record that exists is consistent: a natural, uncoloured sound with articulate bass, smooth integration through the tweeter, and a cabinet braced to minimize resonance. What's genuinely known beyond the marketing sheet is limited. If you own a pair or have heard them against the competition, the archive would welcome your notes.
