    Thiel CS2.3 - great speakers. They saw off quite a lot of boxswap pretenders, including a pair of Yammie 1000M that I sold on to someone around here .....

    come loose? - no, but you had to be careful not to bump into them.

    It's on the floor under the cabinet.

    I have a set of those Thiel speakers. The passive bass speakers are incapable of producing the bass from the BM2 with the same accuracy and speed as the NS1000M. So I can't use them with heavy bass music. Looking for a buyer who can collect because of that.

    Default Regrets - The short list

    1. Trading in my Ion Obelisk 3 / X-Pak / FMT-1 for some Linn Kit - 1996

    2. Dumping 2 pairs of B & W DM70's to make room in my garage for a custom built BMW R100R on my return from China - 2004

    3. Selling the above R100R for a 'song' when I thought I was moving back permanently to China - 2010

    4. Selling my original Quad 33 / 303 / FM3 / AM3 plus a Quad 34 / 306 / FM4 plus a Pair of Royd Edens plus a Roksan Xerxes / Artimiz / Chorus Black - again as above - 2010

    5. Not selling all my Linn kit instead of the above - 2010

    The only 'up-side' to this sorry tale is that I didn't part with my Garrard, my Thoren's and my BMW R100GS P.D., and this year I have managed to acquire a Quad 44 / 405-2 / FM4 to partner the 401 & the TD124, so at least I have something to remind me of the 'good old days'.

    Regrets?
    Not keeping a pair of Audiomaster LS3/5as. Not for the sound, but for the fact I could now sell them for twice the £700 I got a few years ago...

    Too right I have some regrets but then again, only two to mention.

    Yamaha Tuner amp - forget the number, I think CR600 - so lovely looking and sounded fine, keep seeing them on eBay and get tempted
    Quad33/50Ds/FM3 to fund a CD rebuild that didn't work. Not quite true, it worked for about three days.

    Being happy with the system for so long has meant that upgraditus has been avoided.

    Tragedy Michael!

    I have an ion Obelisk from that era here at the moment and it's a cracking amplifier.
