My BC2's are anything BUT dull, I can assure you. The main drivers were taken from an unwanted pair of SA2's, so later issue and tweaked over the originals, and checked by Spendor's current designer before he sent them to me. The HF1300 tweeter can sound very clear and sweet, the add-on 'super' tweeter not really adding much unless it's too high an output and adding to the 12kHz sparkle the Celestion has.
Current Harbeths, C7 series excepted, don't boom at all and can rock without added aggression really well. The music speaks for itself on these, although they can't really be called 'BBC' speakers now, as they're so far removed in design and tuning and the beeb is now using active Dynaudios and a few genelecs I understand in their glass studios with odd acoustics...
[edit] Sorry, I'm doing it again. Just ignore me chaps, I'll come right eventually
