    Default Journey to the temple of boom, slight reprise.

    Seeing as how a certain image hosting site has ruined my original thread I've decided to start afresh.

    I've cherry picked a little bit because this was a massive ballache and I am at work.

    Cheers Dave.
    That's right Allen. Makes the original thread a complete waste of space.

    First post now finished.

    Now let's get current.

    Pioneer as it arrived.



    And pretty much as it sits now...

    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!”

    A mate once had Leak 2075's (the later 3090's are the ones with the isodynamic tweeters further up the thread) and they were very good other than the top end from THAT Leak/Wharfdale purple plastic dome tweeter. Bass was very impressive and a much better example of a transmission line working properly than the IMF speakers I've heard. That's a 15" woofer BTW, for scale... these are big buggers!!

    Grant that was a pair of Linn Kan 1 and the spike directly under the speakers worked a treat for my ears.

    The dinky little telly is plenty big enough for the wife to watch hollyoaks. I could live without it tbh.

    I grew up with the pictured 3090's in my fathers system so they and their relatives seem normally sized to me.
    The 2075 has a simpler circuit which for me makes up for the poor tweeter.

    Thanks all.
