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.

Hi - just followed this thread in an ambling way, and note Dynaudio pops up
from time to time. I have some baby 42s, and they are like no other IMO. I
heard some big new standmount Spendors a short while ago (on the back of
various Naim stuff) and didn't really get on with it - quite restrained,
polite, 'undynamic' to be nasty. The Dynaudios have a punch/kick/slam all of
their own and just soak up power. I auditioned them next to B&W, PMC, AVI
and whatever else Cornflake Shop has at that price. But they can be a little
'relentless', and 'warm' they are not. Give 'em a try!
