About the S8e

The Spendor S8e is a two-way floorstanding speaker featuring a 210mm mid-bass driver and a 27mm coated fabric dome tweeter. It offers a frequency response of 44Hz to 20kHz with a nominal impedance of 8 Ohms and sensitivity of 89 dB. The speaker uses a bass-reflex enclosure with a rear-firing port designed for linear, turbulence-free airflow. Its crossover frequency is 4kHz, employing high-quality components such as Clarity Cap capacitors and hand-wound inductors mounted on a damped stainless steel plate. The cabinet is well-braced internally to reduce vibrations and is available in various veneers including Cherry, Maple, Rosewood, and Black Ash. Weighing 25 kg each and measuring 925 x 226 x 320 mm, the S8e is praised for its natural, unforced sound with solid, deep bass and clear midrange. It is capable of handling amplifier power from 15 to 300 watts. The speaker is noted for its excellent timbre, ability to handle acoustic instruments and vocals well, and a sound quality that rivals much more expensive systems. It is recommended for listeners seeking a detailed, balanced, and refined audio experience without harshness or excessive coloration.
