Deze spendor bc2-luidsprekers komen zelden op de markt en verkeren in uitstekende staat. Ze staan op hun originele standaards en vormen een aanzienlijk verbeterde versie van de bc1; ze zijn voorzien
This is a buyer’s market for BC2s, and €750 looks fair to slightly soft rather than cheap: recent used comps cluster around roughly €45–€75 for ordinary examples, while nicer/rarer pairs can push materially higher; a special limited edition example was listed at €139 in Japan, which shows how condition and version matter. The asking price is not a steal, but it is close enough to the going range that a clean, working pair would still be worth serious consideration.
BC2s are loved for their natural midrange, easy long-session listenability, and the kind of scale and tonal density that made them a classic BBC-style monitor. If this pair is original, cosmetically honest, and all drivers are healthy, the main upside is simply owning one of Spendor’s most respected vintage designs; at this level, provenance, crossover health, and driver condition matter more than packaging. I’d want confirmation of originality and function, but a tidy, complete pair at €750 can still be a very sensible buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Spendor, a quintessential British hi-fi brand, traces its origins to the late 1960s when BBC sound engineer Spencer Hughes and his wife Dorothy founded the company in Sussex, England—the name itself a clever fusion of "Spen" and "Dor." Drawing on Spencer's expertise alongside co-designer Dudley Harwood, they pioneered the BC1 loudspeaker in 1969, featuring the world's first commercial 8-inch plastic cone driver made from innovative Bextrene material. This breakthrough quickly established Spendor as the monitor of choice for broadcasters, recording studios, and discerning listeners worldwide, setting a benchmark for transparent, natural sound.
The brand focuses exclusively on loudspeakers, designing, engineering, and hand-building every driver, crossover, and cabinet in their Sussex facility. Their lineup spans the accessible A series for mainstream buyers, the premium D series for high-end performance, and the Classic line, which revives iconic designs like the BC1 with modern polymer and Kevlar cones, cast-magnesium chassis, and advanced motor systems. Spendor eschews amplifiers, turntables, or headphones, prioritizing pure speaker innovation rooted in BBC-honed precision.
Today, under owner Philip Swift since 2000, Spendor holds a revered position as a high-end, heritage British marque, blending vintage collector appeal with contemporary excellence. Renowned among audiophiles and professionals for smooth, low-distortion imaging and musicality, it remains a global reference standard, entirely made in the UK to captivate serious hi-fi enthusiasts.
