Hello from Leuchars

[Barry]

Welcome to AoS John,

Nice system, I have heard the Cambridge R50s many times in a friend's system. Helped him move them - they damned heavy! They were driven by a 75W/channel Harrison-Chapman S200 integrated amplifier.

Would love to see some photos of your modded SME with the carbon fibre arm.

Enjoy the Forum

Regards
Barry

The SME modded with a carbon-fibre armtube sounds interesting. Show some pictures when you have them - we would love to see what it looks like and to learn what it sounds like.
