I thought that accolade went to the Spendor BC1?


Not often I agree with my distinguished UK.D-I-Y DAB radio supporter
but on this occasion he is absolutely right....

I feel someone has to put the majority view on a group like that. There
just isn't the outcry about its quality by the general public that some
would have you believe. So for those who haven't heard it, it may well
provide an answer to poor FM reception and the resultant distortions that
the detractors simply don't acknowledge. If and when there are definite
plans to drop the present FM service I will happily join any protest group.

If anybody's looking for a pair or the ones with the BBC amps in drop me
a mail off group I know someone who has some!..

Remember these generally aren't the same as domestic BC1s. Depending on
age they may only have an HF 1300 and not the additional HF 2000? 'super
tweeter'. The amp is also of rather lower power than most would use. Again
maybe only early ones had a mid range 'suck out' so beloved of BBC designs
of the day. In a nutshell, sound rather different from the contemporary
domestic version.
