Nah - too bloody heavy - 150Kg! :mental:

Anyway - they just look like overgrown Yammie NS1000M - and I didn't get on with those at all! :scratch:

Grrr.... :steam:

Actually.... when I said "wee", I meant "poo"! :lolsign:

On a slightly more serious note: They look great! :)

But I said that already. :LoL

On an even MORE serious note: Your cable won't contain any wee. Just a little bit of poo! :eyebrows:

Ummm ... no.

A bit scared to, tbh. I believe they drop to 2 ohms in the treble and are a nominal 4 ohm load - not exactly cumfy for a 10wpc SET valve amp driving a speaker thatthe maker recommends using between 100 and 300 watts on!

I'm having way too much fun with my 'little' 400wpc Bel Canto at the moment to worry about it, though.

I have never heard such realistic vocals from a speaker. ... & big scale music is BIG.

The beasts had me literally gasping for breath at large scale orchestral music ... bloody hell (he says again) these are scorchers of a speaker!

Last Movement?

Does this mean your box-swapping days are over, Jerry?

I follow your itenerant progress with incredulous fascination; not least for the fact that you are a classical aficionado, and that I dread either buying or selling anything and cannot understand how you make a fine art of it.

Best wishes for the new kit, of which I have no knowledge at all.

:) Thanks Mike

See my write up and lots more photos in the reviews section. http://theartofsound.net/forum/showt...8450#post58450

No, of course my box swapping days are not over! I'll enjoy these for a while and then something else will take my fancy .... Yup, I'm totally :mental: but I have huge amounts of fun.

Run from my Leak Stereo 20 or Esoteric AZ-1 I had one hell of a job getting the sound to gel. Waltzing speakers around the room like crazy :mental: - nope nothing seemed to work. they sounded OK, but I could hear a lot more potential there that just wasn't being realised. Seemed like the APs were in for a very short stay at Casa Jerry.

Then due to a combination of curious and sad circumstances, a couple of days ago I found myself with a new pre/power amp combo ....

Yup, from the Glory Days of Musical Fidelity ... an MVX.2 pre and an A370 power amp.

Woo-Hoo !! - now we're cookin' with charcoal. :smoking: Despite all protestations to the contrary, what the APs were really crying out for was 235 Watts / 50 amps of solid state class-A beefsteak up the jacksie! Word on the streets is that the Virgos are best with valves ... well, they do sound mighty fine, but you really gotta hear them with a muscle amp!

The APs are def here for the long haul (well, long haul by my standards! ;)) - perhaps I can see some larger APs making their way Jerry-wards in the New Year. Mighty fine speakers when fed the right juice.

Hi Jen

Nope! It's sold and gone. Ask Ali Tait, its new owner! :)

It was a fairly empty rear view - a couple of input RCA sockets, 2 pairs of output binding posts per channel, and a mains socket.
