    And what conclusions did you come too apart from they probably all sounded slightly different?

    Ha, it will be a long session but we've got all day. How did the paradise fare?

    The Paradise was epic in every way.

    I can well believe it. I have heard Alan Towell's of this parish and it is simply stunning. Definitely something I would like to own.

    Ah I was wondering where I heard it, now I remember Steve. His monoblocks are not bad either!

    Yes, the Paradise did stand out (as did the new Arkless stage based on similar design principles).

    I’ve written the whole thing up on the Audioflat forum.

    The Paradise didn't disappoint. A little tipped up at the top end due to cart loading but other than that it was in rare form. I think people liked it.

    Good review that Mark.

    Here's a link http://www.audioflat.co.uk/phpBB3/vi....php?f=7&t=745

    I'm thinking it might have been better to use 'speakers that were a bit less 'left field' in design? After what you said about the first few stages I was thinking there might be some system issue.
