Seltene Spendor BCII in top Zustand inkl. Abdeckungen
Bevorzugt wird Abholung inkl. Probehören
This is a buyer’s opportunity right now, and the €1,000 asking price for the Spendor BCII is a strong deal: it sits well below the 25th percentile of €760? Wait—no, €1,000 is actually above the 25th percentile (€760) but still comfortably under the median of €1,311, placing it in the fair-to-good range rather than a bargain, yet clearly better value than typical listings. You’re paying less than most by roughly €300–€310 compared to the median, which makes this a worthwhile entry into Spendor’s classic British sound.
The BCII (released 1973) is well-regarded for its warm, natural midrange and smooth treble, delivering that quintessential “living music” tone Spendor fans cherish. It excels with vocals, acoustic, and jazz, and its vintage wood cabinets add timeless appeal. At €1,000, assuming unknown condition doesn’t hide major flaws, this is a smart buy for someone seeking authentic 1970s hi-fi character without the €2,000+ prices of better-preserved examples. Just verify speaker integrity and cabinet condition before committing.
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.
