Probably the same family as the BC1 - from an original BBC design
study.

apart from the rasping bass unit I couldn't cure - without spending a
lot of money and maybe changing the speakers characteristics too
much, in any case....


I suppose you tried inverting the driver?



Sure - first port of call after turning the whole box upside down; then
I tried all sorts of fiddling about before I spoke to DK Loudspeakers:

If it was like the original BC1, the actual power handling was very low.
About 25 watts. It was designed by the BBC for use where high monitor
levels wouldn't be needed - and attempts at that wouldn't work as the BBC
ones had built in amps. Spendor very soon upgraded the bass units to
handle 50 watts.
