    Got a reply now (eventually). I think the guy operates in a state of confusion, could be rather elderly. Picking the stands up Friday hopefully.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I used to pick those up at boot sales for a couple of quid. Didn't rate them much. The similar sized Sony TA-88 was way better.

    If ever a speaker was overrated. That's the one. You see them with asking prices of £500 to £600 now. Why?

    They worked, but used cheap drive units and sounded nothing amazing. Those again were common at boot sales and went for peanuts. I preferred the Videoton Minimax 2, which was better made, but they were not marvellous either.
