Now that the Leak has been relegated from the main system by the Firebottle OTL, I can't stand the idea of it not being used at all, so its playing away whilst I work on the house with Marantz 63SE, Creek passive pre-amp and the ex-white van man speakers. These are now in their - hopefully - final version and just need finishing off when I get some decent contact adhesive over from the UK. French stuff is useless, gimme Evostick. Just one side to veneer and I can match the colour and make them all pretty.
The WVM speakers are now, 12" that came with them which is actually quite decent, Celestion HF1300 and Kef T27 as supertweeter. Sound pretty ace really, very clean and crisp with a decently solid bass. Listening to Ron Carter is (gasp:eek:) almost as enjoyable as the main system. Most things fall apart after the 57's and valves but when it really needs deep bass, there are times when I wonder if I shouldn't investigate getting the subwoofer working. My REL is hors de combat so I haven't tried it yet in France.
One day, this will be the lounge (which will be 5 metres wide, 8 metres long with ceiling up to 6 metres). Who knows, it might look as posh as some of yours!!
