Spendor Bc1 what is a good upgrade mod ?


Hi there
I was looking to sell these but cant depart with them , does anyone know of good upgrades to these speakers , i have read that the crossover can be replaced with a modern version from cicable.com , has anyone tried modding the front port to make the bass faster? ,i know the bass is slow which is fine its just a bit to boomy , any ideas anyone , i dont want to move away from these as i dont have a lot of time to audition many brands and dont want to make the wrong choice, hell i have been there before . Any ideas . Thanks. Phil.

Hi John
Thanks for the e.mail and advice it is much appreciated , the hifi shop where the TDLs are for sale is a place i have been dealing with for some time and the owner really seems to think that a more modern design is the way to go , i can see his point but hey the BC1s are a lovely sounding speaker so the TDLs are not to be overlooked , it could be for a sale figures but i dont think he would go this path as i have been dealing for many years with him and he see's me as a client more than a blow in of the street , its just hard to depart from the warm Spendor sound , i guess its like an old friend , i will post what i decide .
Cheers. Phil.
All you need is a modern solid-state amp with lots of current to control those woofers. I love the BC-1s.
Don't tamper with your BC1s. Enjoy these wonderful speakers for what they are. And whatever you do, do not overdrive them. If they do not satisfy on some music, get a pair of SP1/2s or Harbeth Compact 7s [or a sub].
