Apparently the amp comes equipped with "Ultimate Fidelity", whatever that means. :rolleyes:Quote:

'Trending' they say that on the radio now - 'lets see what's trending today' - what, is the word 'happening' not good enough now? Tossers.
Yeah its in the Facebook "trending news feed" as well... Must be a yank thing.

Never understood the thinking behind these things. If you need one then your record shouldn't be on the the tt in the first place.

I have one...........but worth £50 tops if that.........

These look cute. They are the humble Audio Note P-Zereo Mono Blocks. I've never heard them, any good?
Coming in at 8 watts! Best really for efficient speakers.

These are good as they come, but with some tweaking they're a very class act indeed.
Apparently, these Heybrook Solo speakers are "legendary".
Funny, I thought they were a cheap vinyl wrapped basic model with economy drivers.

Pair of B&W DM2s in Lincolnshire. Going cheap (so far). Less than a day to go.

They are a classic seventies true monitor speaker and well liked here on AOS. Several members use them. Usual price tends to be £100 to £200 depending on condition. These shouldn't be hard to smarten up.Quote:

Thanks, Geoff. That's a really helpful answer. What do you mean by "true monitor speaker"?
The DM2 was designed as a serious, no compromise speaker to meet the highest domestic and professional (compact studio monitor) standards of its era. Many found their way into recording studios. The 1/8 wavelength transmission line cabinet was unique at the time and worked extremely well. They are very solid and rigid and surprisingly hefty. By domestic standards, the DM2 was up with the best on the British market.Quote:

Hardly a fair comparison James. Everything sounds bass light next to IMFs. ;)Quote:

What are you saying? :scratch: I'm pretty sure that if you put a genuine 100 watts through a pair they'd 'fry' in short order!! :DQuote:

I'm saying that with average power output amps of the time they sound distinctly average. It took a 100wpc HK Citation beast to wake mine up... And yes I blew both B200's on my IMF's using it :lol:Quote:

Tell a lie. I did burn out a pair of loose, crummy little Whitely Stentorian HF812 5 watt units I was trying out (the HF1016s I had were far better and the HF1216 better still). I wonder if anybody here remembers those or for that matter the contemporary Baker speakers, they were OK.
Belated report back on this.Quote:

I have to say it sounds bloody good. Very transparent and clean. Lots of grip too, seems to have bags of grunt. Rather chuffed actually. :)

Beware item not working but advertised as working this was the one i had trouble with although i was given a refund to he's still selling it as working. Although i advised that it needs a lot of work why dont people listen :( pointless.
Report it to Ebay Dan, save someone buying a duffer.
