Quite nice, bass can be a bit out of control, watch out for early models with the shrinking white bass unit surrounds.
I suspect the best ones to go for are ones with Alnico magnet bass units with the black surrounds that don't shrink very much.
I have BC1's and Rogers LS3/6 which have had replacement Dalesford Bass units, this makes them pretty well identical to early Rogers Export Monitors.
I prefer the modded LS3/6 to the BC1, just a little. Bass is tighter, and with the Export Monitor bass units, power handling is better.
Apart from slightly woolly bass BC1 very nice indeed with natural acoustic presentation. Might also suggest SP1 or dare I say SP2
nice pair of active SP1's here http://www.audioflair.co.uk/products...tive-monitors/
My experience is that they sound nice. Natural and nice and very musical - so good if really you listen to the musicians playing and hum along to tunes etc.
For me though they don't do the "recreation of a sound event" thing so well as other speakers which is about soundstage and speed of response to get sharp transients like you hear in real life, an aspect that I think results in "tactile sounds" and tweeks your natural reactions to real sounds e.g specific visualisations of what you're hearing.
Some people though aren't into that and might call it "hifi" and instead prefer the musical side of things..
Thanks so far, so do I plump for passive or active?
