Hi all

Hi there.
I've been meaning to join for a long time after finding a lot of useful information here in the past
My current system
Xbox for DVD playback and streaming. Tivo, Marantz KI 6000 CD player for more serious listening
Sugden A21SE and Topping TA60 amplifiers which are currently bi-amping a pair of
Celestion A3

Other speakers in my collection include Tannoy 15" dual concentrics, Yamaha NS1000, Ditton 44 and 66, and a few others

Hi there, and thank you for your welcome

I Guess I lean towards rock and pop mainly. I like to keep up with current music trends to a certain degree, but still enjoy a lot of the older classics.

A small selection of my favourite artists at the moment would include, in no particular order:

Sub Focus
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Avicii
Deadmau5
U2
Gotye
AWOLNATION
Bloc Party
77's
Divine Comedy
Linkin Park

I currently have three lodgers, all in their late teens - early 20's, and I get to hear a lot of their music. Consequently I listen to and enjoy a large number of artists that I might not otherwise have discovered.
In return I have been able to help and advise them on putting together decent starter systems of their own

Hi John

Well I am particularly partial to the Tannoy 15" Dual's to be honest. However I know I have yet to hear them at their best as they are currently stuck in some tiny stage monitor cabs, leftovers from my time on the road (they're from the Wildcat professional range).
I also found that some TDL RTL3's worked extremely well in my room, and I especially liked the deep bass they produced, even at low volumes.
Other than that I have had a hard time making up my mind between them all. However, I have spent a lot of time recently treating the acoustics of my room, and adding some mains filtering and conditioning. The improvements have been very worthwhile. I now think I can make some more meaningful comparisons, as I feel the time is coming to cull the collection a little (at last count I had 12 pairs, nearly all floorstanders)

Howdy and welcome.
