    Ok ... hear ye hear ye an all ....

    Assuming my new pre will be here by then (and I'm pretty certain it will be) I"m going to schedule another (mostly) Classical Music Day.

    To accommodate Jerry (who I hope can make the date) I'm looking at Sunday 13th December, starting around noon. I'll provide some nosh.

    It's not really a bakeoff as such, just bring music - antidote to the usual bakeoff scenario where the one classical album of the day sees a run for the kitchen ...

    I have a mate coming along but can probably accommodate another 4-5.

    I'm sure Jerry will enjoy the visit and relent about Tannoys Tom!

    The other pair I hope to have completed this week all bar the finishing which will take me a further week, so there'll be a pair here possibly from next Thursday onwards. I'm having some name-plates made for these as well Tom so if you'd like a couple (copper coloured and CNC machined with the RFC Logo and model nr), please let me know

    Regards

    Paul

    Might be an idea Tom.

    It is worth going chaps. I rate those particular Tannoy's the best I have ever heard bar Kingdom Royal Carbon Edition with Thrax amps.

    They were just stonking with my old Beard BB100. The 100 Watt Radford's may well be even better!
