| Spendor BC1's -How do you set them up best? To r3mor,Gofast, Aktchi, jtdesigns, and Mlsstl: Thanks for all the valuable info.

| Upgrade from Spendor BC-1: need ideas I went from Spendor BC-1's to SP-1's, and in my system it was quite an improvement. The SP-1s are more efficient, more dynamic, image much better, and seem to have a more natural tonal balance. As you might expect, they retain a lot of the BC-1 qu... | |
| Spendor BC1's -How do you set them up best? jtdesigns, you are right about open stands. I found a set of SP-1 stands and the tonality and imaging have improved considerably - amazingly.

| Favorite H H Scott Tube Integrated Amplifier A Spendor BC-1 / Scott 222c combo was auditioned. The Spendor's were very musical and listenable, but didn't seem to mesh with the 222c as well as the LS 3/5a's on most material, at least not to my ears. Although vocal clarity was excellent, the S... | |
| Favorite H H Scott Tube Integrated Amplifier What speakers go well with your model integrated amplifier? My Rogers LS 3/5a's really seem to like my model 222c, but I wonder what other speaker-H H scott integrated amp combinations can be recommended. | |
| Favorite H H Scott Tube Integrated Amplifier I tweaked my 222c, and now it sounds even better. The tweaks were simple and reversible.

| Favorite H H Scott Tube Integrated Amplifier Some vintage components portray the musical truth outstandingly well. In addition to my own Scott 222c, I bought a broken, tubeless LK-48 chassis for a few bucks and gave it to a electronic tech who could fix it. He reports the same thing I heard ... | |
