Yes I could probably fit about 6 of those little things inside one of my Lockwoods - and the point is?

S'ok, I know you like Harbeth...:eyebrows:

So do I, but the Monitor 40.1s are more my scene, daddy-o! ;)

How many 40.1's does it take to fill a Lockwood ?...:scratch:

And about 6 in my MB Quarts, Dave.

Well, one point could be

"How often does a British designed and manufactured product receive such acclaim in the Far East?

You could probably get two in there, Dave, with a bit of space left over for a couple of crates of beer! :cool:

Brian,

Yup, point taken, but don't the Japanese love everything about the likes of Harbeth, Spendor and Tannoy, anyway? So Harbeth getting an award there is undoubtedly well-deserved, but of no real surprise :)

I think it is great that a British (?) product wins an accolade abroad. Time was when we had a super strong hifi industry, designed and built here.

Good on them I say!

Too right, Steve - we're just pointing out that it's not terribly unusual :)

Btw, you should come round again soon for another sesh, as I've made a few critical 'adjustments' to the system since the last time you heard it... Bring Vinnie, too!

Usual liquid refreshment and munchies apply :cool:

Played loudly enough, Marco's Lockwoods will jelly your kidneys, liver, spleen and other inessential organs of the body!

I think of equal interest is the fact that they never (very rarely) have anything costing less than a Zillion Yen on the front cover. This is rock bottom budget gear for them....:eyebrows:
