Great to hear Tim. I think for most of us seeing this really makes it feel worth while.

You are more than welcome and I have to say you deserve a mention too. After looking at your Gallery pictures, I was flung right down memory lane....... my first system was a Pioneer PL12D TT, a Trio amp and a pair of JR149's.... I loved them to death.Originally Posted by Beechwoods
Damn right John, thank you Tim
I had forgotten all about the pleasure those 3 things used to give me and I'm amazed and pleased to see some 149's still going strong, I don't really know why, I just am

The Radford STA15/JR149 combo I heard at Scalford proved why these speakers are still sought after - Nick said he sought his out after hearing them at Scalford last year, and I could certainly hear the attraction.You are more than welcome and I have to say you deserve a mention too.

Anyway, good thread, and nice to see to someone thanking Marco and the other mods for all their hard work in making this place a great community - and as Martin said, we're learning from you too (that Martha Wainwright CD is on it's way!) so it's a two-way street, and glad you're enjoying AoS and a renewed interest Tim.

LOL, base 16, I like that...... 34 sounds a lot better than 40 - 12, so I think I shall quote my age in base 16 from now onSnap, and that's how I quote my age too, unless I do it in base 16 in which case I'm only 34
