I'm Nathan.
They look like some Meridian 205 monos. I've always wanted a set of those. Very nice!
DIY is fine and dandy, but just try selling it on!
Nathan.
They are indeed and they were the key to taking the whole system up a level.
I got them for about three hundred quid on eBay and have never looked back - they are gorgeous
Nice.
Buy Bose...And get your parking validated!.

You must really like Miles Davis's 'Sketches of Spain', to have gone to the trouble of decorating the wall to look like the record sleeve.

I do, but it's also because it's such an iconic cover, IMHO.
I was working for Tower Records when I did it and got the store artist to make the lettering on the vinyl cutter, though I painted the wall - deliberately "washy" like the LP sleeve - and Miles and the bull myself before applying the stickers on top.
I love the effect though I often wonder if I ever move whether I should paint over it before putting the place on the market.
My first instinct is a solid "NO!"
As for the arcade machine, it does have Galaxian like I said, but there are three games that aren't on there that I would really like. No, make that four - I've just thought of another one. Two of them are by Atari - Battlezone and Asteroids, which I spent loads of 10ps on when I was a kid. The Battlezone would be hard though, given the controls were so unique.
The other two would be Williams' Defender (which I've got on a PC emulator) and the classic, Scramble. My god, I loved that game. I actually completed it at the funfair one year before the owner of the arcade kicked me out ! I spent ten pence and was in there for half an hour
