    Not really tried with the doors shut, although I have plonked them right at the edge - made a small difference, but not sure it was better or worse! I'll try again next time it's sunny - raining this morning, so inside system for me today.

    Cheers Al - luckily the house behind is about the same distance away from the summerhouse as we are, and as we are on a corner there's no house next door, until you get across the road and must be 100ft to those. I have put it up reasonably loud and had a walk around to mkae sure it isn't too intrusive, which at reasonable volumes it isn't. No one's complained or called the police - yet!

    Having heard this setup with speakers facing in towards the summerhouse (no pics of the "man fridge" down there either ) I can vouch for the great sound-for-peanuts Alex is getting down here in the garden. Those old Coda 7, 8 and 9 are built from little more than cardboard and thin plastic, but for whatever reason, the sound quality totally transcends this, being honest and pleasantly warm toned, rather than shrill as bigger KEFs could be or boomy as the cheapo Tannoy M series was at the time..

    Nice man-cave Alex, if you haven't moved by then, perhaps I can lighten that beer load in the fridge when I move to Suffolk in a couple of years.

    You would be most welcome to do that buddy! (No plans to move at the moment, are you really planning on coming to East Angular?)

    Yes, when I retire, somewhere near Stowmarket - might be delayed a few years if I go back to the Caymans for a spell, but only planning on a max of 2 years there, so within 5 years I should be there, possibly a lot less.
