A tale of 2 systems

[oldius]

One in Bucharest and one in Liverpool.

The soundbar is a Dali Kubik 1 and it's very good. It's hooked up to lossless streaming and Spotify via an SBT. I bought it as music was missed! It's always on, whatever I'm doing.

However, my trip back home gave me more, much more and I realise that one is a lifestyle system and the other is a lifestyle!

How do you use that TT on the second shelf?

[oldius]

I moved it there for safe keeping, it's normally on the top.

That's such a gorgeous looking turntable - simple classic lines, stylish, ergonomically superb and with no ugly bling! Every time I see it, Geoff, it makes me drool:drool::)

So what's the Bucharest connection?

Marco.

There isn't one Marco. Change of scene and a new teaching experience with a toe in the water of future travel plans.

[Marco]

Ah, no worries... Hungary is a wonderful country, so if you end up there I think you'll love it. Those KEFs look fab, and I bet sound it, too! Proper speakers, from the days when KEF were KEF;)

Have you modded the crossovers at all, or are they still original? If not, they could benefit from some recapping:)

Marco.

[oldius]

The Kefs are brilliant speakers. Mine are original in spec but have been fully recapped and the drivers refoamed.

[Marco]

Nice one, then they'll be fab! Like the look of them, too:cool:

I can imagine that the bass is rather 'chunky':eyebrows:

A photo of them from five years ago in my old house, still driven by the same amp!

The big speakers are B&O not KEF.

[oldius]

Indeed MS150.2. I thought Marco was asking about the others you can just see in the corner of the room.

The big speakers are B&O not KEF.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. My error... Like the look of both of them. What's the difference in sound, Geoff?:)
