At present my uncle has 25+ year old Spendor BC-1 speakers. We are
considering a few possible upgrades:

1. (Used) Spendor 1/2E. This is the final result of Spendor's own
upgrading of BC-1's.

2. (Used) Spendor BC-3. Was the bigger/better model when BC-1 was
current. He says he couldn't afford nor lift it then, at least we
can
afford a used model now.

3. (Uesd) Harbeth. Maybe SHL-5, but possibly other models too,
depending on availability. Same extended BBC family, newer driver
material

4. (Used) Dynaudio Contour models

5. (New) Green Mountain Castillo: Clearly something very different,
but
has received raves which he says remind him of the talk about BC-1
when
they came out.

There is no way we can arrange to compare them side by side. If you
know 2 or more of these speakers, we would appreciate hearing your
thoughts.


If they are still working and he likes them why change the BC1's -
unless he's into rock or heavy metal? I have a pair and I wouldn't
dream of parting with them.

Same here

They do what they do, and they do it very well
