Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“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!”

'Dear Mr Shopkeep. I understand that you probably don't know much about hi-fi or the price of hi-fi but asking £170 for these speakers is like asking ten pounds for an out of date Mars bar you found on the floor under the counter. It may still be okay to eat but it is actually worth less than an in date Mars bar, not ten times more.
We are all here of the opinion that the correct price is somewhere between a pony and a ton. Not a monkey, and certainly not the giraffe that you are having.
Thanks for your attention'

Worth about £50 tops I'd say. Those tweeters are crap (if working. Also unreliable) and would be the first thing I'd replace. The crossover will need re-capping and probably the level controls replacing. I once had a set of "unit 5" kit speakers which used the same drive units in a bigger cabinet but had no level controls. Not bad over all.

I'm David.
Showing my ignorance here but why does a pair of Wharfedale Dovedales show a makers plate 'The Radio People Ltd - 25 Chatham Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong'? Were these kits made up in overseas markets or what? Love to know...

This has come up before. I think Spendorman knows all about that.
