Great write up chaps and very nicely presented, felt I was almost there. The bake off highlighted spot on very much what I would have expected reading the roll call of kit.
Not surprised Alan's amps sounded WOW, they are superb and one of the best bargains in HIFI out there at the moment.
Looks like you have a very nice environment there for listening Gary and great to see such a splendid selection of kit.
