Had a look Grant, Glasgow Audio and Hifi Corner stock the Bowers and Wilkins, looking for somewhere that has both

A lot less than a grand but may well suit you, Q Acoustics Concept 20s, you can use them stand or shelf mounted. I bought a pair about 6 weeks ago and I’m delighted with them, great for a smaller room I would have thought with the grip they exhibit on the bass end.

Thanks Steve but the only dealer is a Richer Sounds

I have these but with the Alnico driver upgrade. Either way, superb speakers.

Those look nice Geoff, but not seeing dealers in Scotland

Just spotted a pair of Omega TS 2 speakers being advertised locally, might be worth a punt if I can find some more about them

Robin,

I am now on my second pair of Marathon Omega speakers. I bought my current pair direct from Louis (Mr Omega) on a trip to the USA a couple of years back (he is based in Norwalk, CT).

He has only recently signed up a UK dealer, and I have to say the UK mark up is much less than for most UK companies. There are many reviews of his speakers but they all have a house sound: fast, detailed, dynamic and coherent. This IMHO is down to two things: superb (in house) construction and the Omega full range drivers. Even the models with the small full range drivers produce a huge soundstage. They do need some space around them to perform at their best but are difficult to beat at anywhere near their price. The current range are available with a variety of finishes. I have the ebony finish which looks beautiful. They work really well with valve amps.

These are an early Omega design and do not use their later in house full range drivers. However, depending upon the price they may be worth considering. They will definitely impress in terms of construction quality, scale and coherence.
