Default Upgrading from an old Spendor BC1

I have been living with a pair of old Spendor BC1 speakers. While I
bought these after careful research and auditions long ago, I have not
followed the market isince then. No doubt, much has changed.

I'd be grateful for your suggestions on what budget is rquired for a
meaningful upgrade, the next step up if you wish, in today's market. If
you can suggest a few names, primarily for classical music, that would
be even better.

A few friends have suggested Spendor's own S6, but I would like to
consider other options as well before choosing.

There is a Spendor mod for the BC1 to increase the size of the port and fit
a tube in it. Don't think I noticed much/any difference.

I went from BC1s to KEF Q55 but, apart from a brighter and less warm
presentation, I wish I had not. For classical/jazz and a good part of modern
light pop there really isn't much to beat the BC1.

If you're happy with them (presumably you have them on stands?) spend the
money on a holiday instead.
