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.

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].

If you love BC1s , but need more solid bass as well as
sound pressure levels, try a used pair of sp1 or a new
sp1/2 which i am currently trying to asess. The sp2/3 is
a reference in its price range according to Martin Colloms
and this will also be in my purchase list.
However, its hard to part with BC1s. The mid and upper mid
are magic, so if you can afford it, keep them as a backup.
