Mixed with q sound I believe - nontheless, thats what it did.
Seems I'm not the only one either

There's a hint in that link. It's probably a phase effect.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Best Speakers I've ever heard were my Sonus Faber Guarneris (that I stupidly sold) driven by Border Patrol valve amp....totally incredible quality, lifelike imaging and palpable soundstage.
I've been chasing that sound for years. Nearest I've got is Horning Agathon Ultimates driven by very expensive valves...I'm not sure how such diminutive speakers as the Guarneris can sound better than the two cupboards I've got sitting in my lounge (the Agathons).
Franco Serblin is a genius!

Thanks Nial. I will have a look through the albums produced in q sound. I might get one or two and experiment.
Clive, thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Kiss speaker system. I have heard them as well, and think they are a very fantastic sounding speaker too. And the finish etc. on them is as should be, very nice as well.
My mind is often boggled when I read some comments here and elsewhere on the looks of kit. I realize taste/sound differs extremely at times between folks, but I often see some bias-or appears that way, almost like if something looks nice and streamlined or as a piece of art, it can't be any good, or it is classified as "lifestyle", which we know cannot be good either-wrong!
It is almost like for anything to be worth a shite, it has to be boring and look like every other freaking box made in the last umpteen years! Do we really have to live with crap looking products in order for it to be considered worthy? Ugh.....

must get to hear them again sometime
ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
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

seems audiofreaks is only distributor which is why perhaps not seen so much at UK shows
