    Like wise Alan, I thought I got a reasonable sound considering the bleedin awful room acoustics, possibly the worst room in the place, square, painted plaster walls, it almost echoed.

    Power steering failed on the way back, I did two hours up the A1 like that. Woke up with arms like Popeye!

    Like the look of the stand mounters with the front firing port look like they might not be fussy about placement in a room
