It's easy to gain "air" (treble extension) and "bass" by switching from BBC-style monitors to modern designs with metal dome tweeters and lots of woofers (Monitor, KEF, Triangle, B&W, Focal, Paradigm, etc.) but you inevitably lose the mid-range magic of the BBC-monitors in the bargain.
Spendor designed some models that kept the mid-range magic but added bass and treble such as the BC3 and SP 9/1. Used pairs of these may be worth seeking out.
