I just want to try a pair of these before I pop me clogs (which with the way I feel could be any day now!)
I know my room is way too small and I'll only be able to get them a foot or two in front of the rear wall but I would be listening near-field and I have no wish to crank them up so I think I might just about get away with it.
I'm guessing that under those circumstances 57s would be better than 63s with their slightly padded rears and shy bass response but because I'd be running them with my Quad 34/306 pair, perhaps the 63s would be a better bet? Ultimately it'll come down to what's available of course so that's what brought me here.
In an ideal world they'd come with boxes, have recently been serviced and be a couple of miles down the road but we don't live in an idea world do we?
All I really don't want to do is end up with a massive servicing bill a week after buying them, so are there any nice healthy examples kicking about out there? I live in Somerset so the nearer to me the better obviously.
Well I can dream can't I? :)
