My journey to the temple of boom

[agk]

The chosen stands have arrived and are doing wonderful work. The booming bass is unsurprisingly gone now and they image with merciless clarity.


Obligatory foot shot.

Non obligatory forehead shot.


I just love these "pro" connectors. Clunk click

Non obligatory forehead shot.

Is that really your forehead or were you very excited by your new speakers?

Honest guv it was just my head.

Found a DVD player that will do nicely until a black 9000ES comes up.

Sony NS900V.



Seems to do a good job on SACD and I'm sure it's competent with CD. Came with original box and remote control too.

[agk]

Just made a nice score on gumtree, Sony TA FA3ES amp and a pair of these beauties for £65.



The speakers will of course be making their way back onto gumtree shortly.

The amp will get a good clean tomorrow and stay for a while as I'm moving the Fostex on.

I shall put the Kords back in until I score some Sony APM22's. If anyone has a pair and fancies a trade...

[Roy S]

The Fostex's never did much for your forehead then Andrew?

[agk]

Too many holes and a small knob

[agk]

The amp came up pretty well considering I'm fairly sure it has been stored in a hoover bag.


Sits nicely with the 555 and for now controls the Fostex monitors via its pre outs.



That's it then, I'm officially a Sony fanboy.

[Firebottle]

Nice.....lots of dust then?

[agk]

Yep full of it. Most came out fairly easy with a hoover but I'll get an airline in there at some point.
