    Yeah, some of the old AR speakers are remarkably good. Glad the PMA-350SE is doing the biz. They are really nice sounding amps.

    Really nice little amp the Ravensbrook. I had one paired with AR4Xa speakers and that was a lovely sounding combo. I actually prefered the Ravensbrook to my Sugden A21 and it was nicer sounding than the Rogers Ravensbourne.

    Bear that in mind with my A&R's really enjoying them they rarely get used as have a lot of gear about but they are giving fantastic results with extensive listening...

    The Pioneer is a very sweet sounding unit and is in good working order i put the Celestion A1 Compacts on i blew me away with the Quality fantastic....

    Back to Benchmark BM1 Speakers i am sure they are a custom order as they do sound astonishing i am using the Denon 350SE to drive them 4 Ohm amp & 4 Ohm speakers just listening to vinyl and i have never heard a speaker this clear and live sounding as these very happy they are far to good for this so they are going in my collection of weird and wonderful speakers weigh a ton made of wood but made to look like metal has that coating on them wish i could find out more on them...

    Happy Listening - Listening to - Mr Mister - Welcome to The Real World Vinyl

    Not heard those Dan. Monitor Audio have made some nice speakers. £10 was a bargain!
