I've had the 300b warming up all night, using up my electric, and forgot all about it trying to run in these speakers ...

Well after comparing my AV-42's to 'another' pair of computer speakers I now realise that actually the 42's are very good indeed..
I still think they need some running in but they are getting better by the hour/day...

They are running in nicely now and sounding better every day...

Well I've had some faults with the AV42's so will be sending them back to Amazon
On the feedback I've had on this thread I orderd the AE Aego M system and have just received them
Will unbox them soon and give them a try...

Had a set of the Aego M's for over 10 years now Bev, they are superb.
You wont believe how wee speakers that size can fill a room with such a clear deep sound.
Good choice Mrs!
