    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Thanks mate, these are sounding good. I'm running them 700hz-7k, which seems about right looking at the frequency response.

    Alan Firebottle brought one of his OTL jobs round to my place - it was very good, so good that when he left and I put my XTZ amp back in the system just sounded broken. Took me a week to re-acclimatise.

    We have crappy winters, but the summers are crappy too. Ours can drop below -20 in the winter, and go above 40 in the summer. We get all 4 seasons.
