    Couple of very full of themselves 'media' types...in a theatre.

    Big pair of Tannoys, little pair of Mordaunt Shorts...and an original artist, all playing the same track...and bugger me, they could tell the difference.

    Oh...yes KEF's.
    Sorry (again)

    I'd lost the will to live, let alone take on board what they were.

    the headphone bit was awful as well...you judge the sound quality based on whether you could hear the instruction to avoid getting twatted by a paint ball.
