Had a few sessions with them now, Grant had changed the settings on the rear switch to what i had heard previously.
They sound superb, real house sound with Colins speakers-very 57 like!
Brian popped in today and had a quick look....his good lady was less than impressed with three sets of speakers ( all Colins) in one listening room.
Delighted to house them.
Was sorely tempted with the Pathos....my son reminded me divorce was a viable option on grounds of unreasonable behaviour!!!

Still stand by this statement??Well, you'd have to prise my Edingdales out of my cold, dead hands. I'm never parting with them, and despite hearing speakers up in the £50k+ region at my local high end Hi-Fi shop, I still come home and enjoy just how musically satisfying and complete my system sounds playing through these speakers. They are perfect.
The impact, control, delicacy, soundstage, balance, neutrality and sheer musicality are utterly outstanding.

Yes I do. A staggering combo that I've only heard bettered a couple of times; and those were some seriously top notch systems.
Unfortunately I simply don't have the space to enjoy it at my forthcoming house. Sometimes life just gets in the way.
But I can assure you that my hands are very much warm and alive.

Oh good people are always ripping the p1ss out of me when I say I've found my final pair of speakers, so I thought I would say something myself. Maybe not fair to pick on you though as you've never said anything to me!!Yes I do.

I stand by my words. When I eventually get back to a big system, I'll be looking for Edingdales again.
