Thanks everso for your comments you lot. I do love the Spendor's but I need time to acclimatise really. I also need some good quality speaker cables to get the best out of them. So far we have not listened to any vinyl but that will come, however, given the change in the B&W's, I can't wait for the Spendor's to settle down a bit. Yes, I would have preferred Harbeth's but you know, do the best you can with what you have. Harbeth's of course would have been a load more money.

Regarding the new cottage, yes, rural Lincolnshire is bloody wonderful and so dark at night that sleep is just so easy but the place is really small and having been kind of spoiled by a big detached place, adapting will take some time.

Again you guys, thanks for your comments.
