Yup - I used to have the Maggie 1.6QR speakers there that Alan firebottle bought off me - great sound but they got in the way of the view too much!
.
I dunno all these big wanky expensive speakers and components when really a simple pair of half decent small speakers and a decent old amp can really do a pretty enjoyable job.
Might not be awesome, but there is goodness to be found for not much dosh.
That looks like a really nice second system Jerry. All you need to complete the look is one of the early Magnum Dynalab tuners, like the FT 101A. It would look great on that rack with that gear!

Hmm.
Nah. Not really my thing.
It's actually very similar to my vintage Philips amps, but somehow lacks their sense of style. For me the Magnum slips across the border from cool to fugly.
I much prefer my previously mentioned and recently acquired Grundig receiver ...
Now there is a thought - I may well try the Grundig in the 2nd system as a pukka system amp and see how it does.

Perhaps, Don.
Although I have seen the Dynalab in the flesh, and it reminded me a bit too much of ....
I suspect that it is just one of the infinite number of ways in which our audio tastes differ.
- e.g. I am about as far from being an Audio Note fanboy as you can reach with a very long stick, whereas you seem rather fond of the stuff!
