    It's OK Kedar has been advising me through this change in direction. He rates this speaker very highly and one of his other recommendations in the same category is the Wilson Sabrina, a speaker I have heard a number of times. Yes will be in touch.

    Thanks

    I know that the audio is the first thing to consider with hifi but I love it when aesthetics are part of the design concept. Your speakers look fantastic, I'm rather envious

    The Funk Firm were demonstrating how good the PlayStation 1 can sound. It has to be serial SCH-1002 for the better DAC excellent value for £13.
