    The reissue Ardens are just shy of £7K, don't know how they'd compare to the originals.

    They won't compare.

    The 'new' Arden uses a tulip waveguide driver. These are in my opinion, inferior to the Alnico magnet 'pepperpot' drivers.

    The nearest real equivalent to the 15" HPD Berkeley is the current Canterbury GR and they are a whopping twenty grand a pair!
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Off topic I know but what is this latest fad for living room rugs that look like bath mats from the 'Seventies? There was a red one the other day, and now this.
