    Default Heads up for wee tee cee

    I spent yesterday afternoon up the road chez Topps, and had a most excellent time.
    All I have to say is "Tony, your new speakers are unfuckingbelievably good"!
    I've heard them a few times while they were being built and developed (coz they're an Edingdale MkII hybrid), but the last crossover tweak has nailed it.

    I'm tempted to go back up the road and steal them

    Well if you do then help us out and take some photos will you please ☺ On the Wam they used to say 'if there's no photos it didn't happen', though I suspect that's a corruption of an old policeman's mantra...

    Colin has kept me constantly updated with the development process providing pictures of the build along the way.

    Chris thanks for you and Scotts input greatly appreciated.

    I heard mk1s at Colins place when me and my good lady visited to pick up my 57s-the sound never left me.

    Really looking forward to getting them plumbed in.

    Colin has been great to deal with....its really nice getting something bespoke built for you.

    I own a set of the MK1 and had a good listen to the MK11 when Colin brought a pair down to a mini fest at my place in November. Not heard the hybrids yet but if they sound even better than the MK11 version........
    Tony, you are in for a real treat, you lucky lad.
