Spendor Bc1 what is a good upgrade mod ?

I have a chance to get a pair of B&W DM 620i speakers , would they be a good alternative to modding the Spendor BC1 ?

I haven't heard the B&W but love the BC1's. Whether you stick with them or not I would put Marigo VTS bands on the basket arms of any dynamic driver. One of the better mods out there.

I am still looking at a pair of TDL monitors , due to the same type of drivers , a bit like BC1s on steroids.I dont think i will sell the BC1s whatever i end up with , i got an e.mail from cicable.com regarding the BC1 crossover upgrade and the price was through the roof so Marigo VTS bands could be the go , the BC1s will only go for loose change on the used market so whats the point , they still sound great with more laid back music and also i have discovered they sound much better with vinyl than cd but i guess thats no surprise :-)

I agree, I wouldn't sell the BC1's. Installing 4mm white Marigo dots on the corners of my cross-over circuit boards provided a nice improvement as well. Actually I only had enought dots left for half a treatment to the cross-over boards.

Dear Phillip,
Hi. I wrote to you about the TDL Monitors before, and I just saw your latest post. I certainly respect Spendor, as I mentioned, I own a pair of SP100 now. Still as good as the BC1 was, that is pretty old now. I will tell you this for what it is worth, of all of the speakers I have owned and sold, these are the ones I wish I had kept. They are good for all music, but you will absolutely love them for jazz and especially classical. Don't let anyone tell you that they are boomy or must be used in a big room- not so. I used them in a 11x17 room with great success. And despite their ability to produce low bass, they don't infuse all music with bass that isn't there.They have a great "soul" if that can be said of a speaker, and if you can afford them, put the BC1s away and do't look back. Let me know what you decide.
Good Luck, John
