Yes I never had the centre matching the mains or rears and I never felt that there was an issue. The difference of having the Vokal is huge, but I say that it down to it being a much bigger and...

A new and FINAL final change of direction.....
The day before I was meant to be picking up the Zensor Pico from my local Dali dealer an advert popped up for a pair of Dali Zensor 1s and a Dali...

I watched it a while back and I enjoyed it. I thought that it was good but missed the mark of being great. You would definitely need to be in the mood for it as it is slow and moody. But I thought...

I've changed tack again, and made my final decision. After the advice given and further testing, I would prefer to match the main and centre. From listening to other peoples systems, it does make a...

Or else a Mission 77C1 for about 100 quid?

Thanks for the quick reply. And I know for 10/10ths of perfection I should match the centre with my mains, but I just can't fit the Dali centre. It's just too deep. I have 200mm to play with and the...

OKay I still haven't gotten my ladder back so haven't gotten into the attic to get the Diamond 9s down to test one of them as a centre. The only way one would fit would be on it's side, so I'm not...

Compared to the kit that I see on the site, I feel like a bottom feeder! ;-) But I started out with an all in one system, then a Cambridge Audio A1 amp, etc. and eventually found a deal on my dream...

A tube of KY and a rubber fist? ;-)

A friend was a huge Opel Manta fan. He still has 2 in a shed but which are pretty rusty. Long term projects but he hasn't gone near them in over 15 years.. :-( Someday...

Yes very good analogy! I always wondered the same about them. Lovely looking car. I know a guy currently restoring one and that is the first one that I have seen in years!

Indeed! :-)

Another reason I regret throwing out my old pile of What HiFi?s, as they would have been a great source of contemporary reviews. It's hard to find any details now on the pedigree/ performance of old...

Over the last year I've been browsing some of the old kit that I once lusted after and are now 20 years old and cheap. Over 20 years ago I bought a pair of Mordaunt Short MS10i Classics which I still...

Yes I enjoyed the Netflix show too. Great sets.

Hmm, sometimes here I feel like I am still on my first bicycle with stabalisers!

My main system I have a 1990s Audiolab 8000A that I have owned since new. Now recapped and upgraded to stage 2. And...

Bad Day for the Cut
(on Netflix. HD. Dolby Digital)

Northern Irish action thriller. Good film. Small budget but very enjoyable. Just goes to show that you don't need a massive budget to make a...

One result just in....

Valdus versus no centre at all?

- At first I really wasn't sure, but after listening to the same film clip over and over. It was a very close call, but I am calling it...

Yeah I would go for the Dali centre if I could fit one, it's juts a little big so it would stick out. Not only would I hear about it for the next 20 years ;-) but it would get knocked and bumped as...

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to do some proper testing this evening. But before that here are some options to mull over:

1. Use one of my Wharfedale Diamond 9s that are currently sitting in...

Yeah I remember reading the KEF Coda 7 review in What HiFi a few times and thinking "Nice...…"

I wonder how much of stuff like them are still around? What happens to old HiFi? Skip?

Ha ha ha! :-) :-)

Oh yes I know it is definitely budget even when new. But it was best of the crop at that price range. And it has served me well. My mains are Dali Zensor 5s. I was about to buy a Dali Zensor Vokal to...

I never heard the KI Signature version, but I had the SE version for about 4 years. Nice amp and very well built. Good looking too. But I found it to have a very clean sound but a bit light in the...

From memory they always a relatively affordable 1000 pound per separate reference system. Anything higher would always be beyond my reach. Yes the KI Signature was in their reference system for about...
