    How is the Wagner sounding - plenty of scale and oomph??
    The neighbours are going to be treated to Wagner tomorrow though possibly not the full 13 hours lol

    Dead chuffed with the speakers, they just sound so BIG!!!. I must make the effort to go over to Jamie's to hear his Yammies.

    To give an idea of scale that's a 50" telly sitting between them

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Paul, they are Mordaunt Short Signifers, early 80's and quite scarce. These are in very nice condition and came with the original stands, boxes and packing.

    Geoff, yes they are XP2's on steroids.

    I'm just getting used to this huge soundstage, it's so full and dynamic. My Harbeths are a lovely thing but they just don't have the presence of the Signifers.

    You are quite right about the print, I find it really fascinating and love the energy it has, I will search out the programme on the iplayer.

    If you ever get over this way you are welcome to come and have a listen, I don't charge for tea and coffee lol.
