That's a bit more like it... How does it go with a Croft Micro Basic and Series 25? Stick a Rega Apollo on the front and I reckon you'd have a good little system for £2500 or so....

Any pics - can't find much on the interweb...

Oh come on, I've only just learnt how to e-mail and you want pics. Even if I could do pics,, I have a new camera and am having trouble getting to grips with that.:brickwall:

You only live up the road, it will be far quicker for you to pop in for a listen and take your own pics. I'll put the kettle on.

Meanwhile, is there a pic on the Kudos site ?

Nice one Spence - very cute. Dave, Coffee, black no sugar - must sort it out sometime in the New year - I can give Dave DJSR a lift if he fancies it?

Dave, would you know yet how fussy these are with room placement etc ?

No mention of them AT ALL on their website as far as I could see? :scratch:

Spence,
Thanks for that great pic, it got me out of a hole.:doh:

To be honest, I haven't yet had time to even run them in, let alone experiment with placing. However, I am using them in my usual posiition which is around 18 inches from the rear wall and the same from the sides. They are perfectly behaved like this, no trace of 'bloom'.

No probs, what about choccy bikkys ?

If you can persuade DSJR down as well, so much the better, it's his turn to get the sausage sandwich.:beer:

Well if it's the New Year, resolutions and all that... but just one won't hurt! (that's one bikky, one sausage sandwich and one beer!)

O.k Dave no problem, i'll give you a little more time and maybe ask you again at a later date if thats ok. I am at the moment seeking speakers and these seem interesting.

Alex,
Sounds a very good idea to me, might even find time to plug the speakers in.:rolleyes:

I can't envisage any problems unless you have a very strange room. I remember installing a pair of ProAc Tablette in a large, wood panelled library for a customer and they boomed like bugg*ry, so you never know.

Come on over for a listen sometime.

I may well do that Dave as after reading lots on this forum I also fancy listening to some valves and believe you do them as well.

Maybe kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
