Hi Jerry,
Used to have relation in Cinderford so have some experience of the Forset. Should be hearing Justin's Accuphase soon. Always good to hear different systems, would like to take up your offer.
Regards
Stephen

That would be great, Stephen - the MBLs are an interesting listen.
Let me know when you fancy popping over.
My system's sonic aspirations are more in tune with yours than Justin's, I suspect.
.
His musical tastes are definitely more in line with mine than yours, Jerry.
No matter, the MBLs are worth the trip, Steve. They aren't as good as my speakers but he'll never admit it
Take the Nagra VPAs with you I reckon the MBLs would like those. The MBLs need 50 Watts or more before they start to shine IMHO. T-amps don't cut it with them in my opinion.

I meant sonic presentation rather than music type. Soundstaging, imaging - that kind of stuff that the MBLs do so well - rather than the dynamic slam that you chase (and achieve). Although the MBLs ain't bad at that either.
Why should I admit it when it's not true?
Actually, it's horses for courses and we are simply running different races and have different objectives for our systems. Our respective speakers succeed in the ways that we want them to.
Who's talking about t-amps?
I think Stephen might be surprised by my little Yarland valve amp, as would you.
A Wammer visitor the other day was seriously impressed by the MBLs (as indeed he should be ) but he said the little Yarland amp was even more amazing for exceeding expectations. He said that his favourite test track had never sounded so good.
Anyway, I have a 130wpc Restek Challenger which can be plumbed in in a few minutes, and that works well with the MBLs.
But by all means bring theViagrasNagras along, Stephen.

Tsk tsk , and I thought my response was insightful and with a frisson of gentle humour
