    Default Podium Speakers - What Have I Done ??

    I've just purchased a pair of Podium Speakers

    I've not even heard them but was just too tempted

    I know the chap quite well that was selling them so I absolutely know they will be in good condition and working well so that did cut down the risk a bit

    I'm going for a listen to them in the morning so wish me luck....

    Those are reputed to sound pretty good Bev. I think you may find them a bit livelier than the Maggies.

    I really hope they are good Geoff

    I just could not resist them

    I believe that they do not suffer with some of the problems that both Quad electrostic's and, to some extent Maggies, suffer from ie. breakdown and unreliability after years of use....

    I know Steve, of HiFi Hanger, pretty well and always found him to be a very honest dealer and really nice to deal with so lets hope all will be well with the Podiums when I hear them tomorrow....

    I will report back tomorrow night if I do indeed collect them ok ...

    He really is super to deal with

    Steve, and his wife Sarah, came down to visit us some years ago and gave a very good price for some surplus hifi gear myself and Colin had available at the time

    He seems very fair when he purchases or sells gear

    He is only about 30 minutes away from me so not a problem to go and listen to the Podiums

    I am just getting together some cd's I know well so I can check out the Podiums

    I must be mad.....

    There is no such thing as "surplus hifi gear". Ask Audio Al.

    and some more

    However it really was 'surplus to requirements'... I can't exactly remember what it was but I think there was a pair of speakers which neither of us needed/wanted and an A&R A60 amp that Colin had owned from new which he had outgrown and a Conrad-Johnson pre that I had no use for anymore

    I think there were some other items but I just can't remember what they were, however Steve gave a very fair price for all of it so we were happy

    So i'm taking the following cd's to 'check-out' the Podiums:

    Derrin Nauendorf - Live At The Boardwalk
    Nils Lofgren - Acoustic Live
    Mark Knopfler - Altamira
    Leonard Cohen - You Want It Darker
    Antonio Forcione - Live

    I know, and love, these cd's pretty well so hopefully they will be good enough to check out the Podiums tomorrow
