    If heard a pair of smaller Robsons a few years ago at a mate's. I thought they were utterly beautiful. He sold them and regretted it, but not as much as I regretted not grabbing them off him. I remember then being crystal clear yet incredibly sweet.

    I think reviewer David Price claimed timing in base of rear ported speakers were always a nano second behind compared with non ported.

    Yeah. They looked "crafted". They left an impression in me that I haven't lost. Part of that was the build and finish. If only life had a "rewind" button, I'd have grabbed them

    ou might slip, you might slide, you might

    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
