The SP3/1R2’s enclosure is roughly 16 litres, reflex-loaded by a generous rear port. It has a 180mm Spendor bass/mid drive unit with a 120mm ep38 polymer cone, a wide surround, a high excursion motor and a powerful magnet. Perhaps significantly, it operates up to a relatively high 3.7kHz. Above that point the signal is handled by an unusual and fairly new tweeter design that Spendor (and others) use in a number of models. It’s a 22mm affair with a ‘proper’ surround and a small 19mm dome. Twin terminal pairs are fitted straight through the enclosure, feeding the drivers via heavy gauge wiring, with high-quality crossover components and careful layout
