    You never see the bigger box JPWs these days, do you ??
    I had a pair of P1s and loved them - stupidly "upgraded" at some point in my early 20s - and I've only seen a pair of AP1 (??) since, which was at HiFiHangar probably ten years ago now.
    Apparently the rubber perished on most of the bass units so I guess they got binned by anyone who owned them.

    Shame, because the sound really was good.

    See loads of the mini monitor jobbies, usually for £20 or so. Ideal for a kitchen set-up.

    No, you don't Paul. These are the AP3's and they were completely refurbed by Anapeach, nearly 2 years ago. Their sound really amazed me; that soundstage is one of the best I have heard, regardless of price.
    Goddamn right it's a beautiful day, uh-huh!

    I assumed they'd spent a couple of years in a Borstal.
