    Not heard of them. They don't look cheap though.

    Bet they're rear ported. That'd put me off.

    Never really had much of an issue with rear ported speakers,although most of what I've had have been relatively small speakers and I've been able to give a decent amount of space to the rear

    I don't like them. They can be tricky to position without unwanted bass effects. In some rooms they just won't work happily at all.

    They do look good. You could imagine them coming from one of the classy Italian manufacturers by their appearance.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
