    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!”

    Boy was I disappointed when I got them home!
    I sold them on immediately.
    Soft focus, rolled off treble, pretty much exactly the type of sound I don't like.

    I can't recall what amps I had at the time, although I can see a 30wpc el34 amp in the background! I'm sure that I had others as well.
    Interesting Jerry, thanks for the reply. I see they are on the Series 3 now, not sure what changes have been made. In talking with the US distributor, the tend to like using solid state to drive them even though they have a couple other tube amplifier options in their stable of gear. If I get another chance at some point, I will probably try to get my ears on them.

    By the way, you certainly have had a lot of good and interesting speakers in your home! Nice to be able to listen to so many things within your own home and systems! Thanks for sharing!

    Timothy, I may be able to come up with a good guess at other amps I may have had at the time when I get home this evening and check out some photos on my pc.

    And yes, it was great fun trying all those speakers!

    Listening to my second system now, Celestion A1s, great speakers for the money.

    Jerry, that is okay, no troubles there! Just that one doesn't hear about the QLN often at all!

    Thanks too, to all of you that are sharing their speaker journey!

    Magneplanar MG2.5r actives with oak frames use Linkwitz bass units to provide added weight to the bass which also frees up the bass/midrange panel. They fold flat against the side walls and swing out when I want to use them. LX521s have superior pinpoint imaging and are the speakers I use the most, but the Maggies have a grand sense of scale that is immersive with well recorded live rock albums. The 42inch ribbon crosses over at 1kHz.

    Nor mine. And as for the rest, amps CD players and decks, etc.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    oh my gosh jerry , I would have a nervous breakdown I my cat did that
    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down
