Spendor BC11a speakers (pair)

Description

Spendor BC11a Speakers (c.1976) – Upgraded Crossovers – Rare Vintage Studio Monitors

A rare opportunity to acquire a pair of classic British studio monitors – Spendor BC11a, dating from circa 1976.

Derived from the legendary Spendor BC1, the BC11a was developed as an early active loudspeaker system, widely used in professional broadcast environments.

Key Features:
• Original built-in M50 amplifiers (included)
• Upgraded Russ Andrews crossovers, XLRs converted to banana plugs, and fresh foam throughout – a welcome and practical update
• Finished with vintage speaker cloth, in keeping with the original aesthetic
• Renowned Spendor midrange – natural, detailed and highly musical
• Studio-grade accuracy and presentation

Provenance:
Originally from RTÉ radio studios, later acquired from a musician.

Condition:
• Fully working
• Cabinets in fair vintage condition with age-related cosmetic wear
• Drivers, amplification and upgrades all performing well

Sound:
Open, natural and uncoloured – these deliver the classic Spendor presentation with superb midrange and a relaxed, highly listenable character.

Included:
• Pair of Spendor BC11a speakers
• Integrated M50 amplification modules

Why these?
BC11a models are rarely offered for sale, particularly with upgraded crossovers and broadcast provenance. A genuine piece of British hi-fi history.

Hi, you show a pic of both amps..but how come you can't see an amp on the image of the rear of the speaker?
isean 3 weeks ago
@GoneItsGone These speakers came with M50 integral amps, they were launched as next gen BC1’s, being active. Many Spendor enthusiasts upgrade the crossovers and bypass the M50’s as modern amplifiers are more capable than they were in mid 70’s. They are there if you want them, good question tho, I went down an internet rabbit hole on this but just enjoy Spendor sound.

OK I get you. A friend of mine has a pair that came from rte too but his didn't have the amps with them.
