No worries, matey - we'll defo do something. I'm very sorry to hear about your partner. Please send her my regards and wish her a full and speedy recovery.

Marco.

Open mind? Well considering I'm using full-range Fostex in large boxes in my second system up here in Scotland,I don't think you can accuse me of being close-minded! Good as they are I still prefer the statics though.

Nice one, mate :)

It's just that having had the statics so long,I could never go back to any kind of box speaker...

Granted on the Fostex's, but forgive me, the above suggests the merest smidgeny hinty-poo of 'closed-mindedness', no? ;)

And I seem to recall you saying a similar thing about P/P amps, too...

My advice would be to reserve judgement until after you've visited. You never know, you might end up preferring a different set of compromises :cool:

Marco.

Well I do own two PP amps! I've heard some very fine PP amps,built with very little compromise,certainly with parts you would see in very few,if any,commercial offerings.Same with SE.Both can be excellent.Could I live with a PP amp? probably.It's just I ultimately prefer SE,in the same way you ultimately prefer PP.One I am looking forward to in particular at the forthcoming Eggborough meet is a PP 211 amp.Should be rather nice!

Think I'll have to pop along to Eggy....

Yes,saw your post Mike.Be good to meet up,especially since you missed the last one at the last minute!

Yep, Ali, that's certainly the state of play at the moment, but who knows what the future holds? ;)

Eggy? I'll probably pass this time in case I upset some of the 'old boys network' again! :eyebrows:

Hi Steve,

That's good to know! :)

When is it anyway, and are you going to advertise it here?

Marco.

i wonder if I will be able to get my OB's sorted for this? also, let me know if you still have a use for the Goodmans drivers Steve.
