Who's up for a "Cheap as Chips" Challenge?

Loved the CAC room good to see old faces and put faces to other members, don't know where the time went but thoroughly enjoyed myself,congrats to all who took part i think you all deserve medals,

Just have to indulge myself once more - great comment from earlofsodbury on the Wam - thank you Paul!

The cheap-as-chips system featuring Ram 150 large standmounts - sounded seriously fucking good, if it'd had a £1K pricetag I'd have thought it a bargain. Makes me wonder what some of us think we're doing?

I know what "some of us think we're doing..."

We're chasing an impossible dream and, sometimes, it needs a wake up call such as the CaC systems to bring us down to earth. In fairness, those Ram's would be a grand the pair at least if sold these days and nearer two grand if priced to sell through Sevenoaks, where a 60% margin is needed (at least) to get the (commission based) sales up.

Dave I think you are forgetting far east manufacturing costs - the RAMs were good but not as good as, say B&W 683 which are a grand brand new:

Although I doubt they would work that well with the little Cambridge amp.
