I avoid all of that by not introducing a computer in the first place
Just three boxes, never had a better sound in here.
By the way Martin, I may have scored a pair of Canton CT1000/2, fingers crossed it comes off.

Great speakers Cantons, I nearly bought some of these instead of the Hecos. I believe they are the direct competitor in Germany?

Yes, the combination of my front end/pre, Ali's Neurochrome 686 Monoblocks and Micks Canton CT1000/2 speakers, was extremely good.Secret's been out since NEBO
I was so impressed with this set up, I ordered a pair of those Monoblocks as soon as I got back from NEBO.
Then I scoured the world looking for a decent pair of those CT1000/2.
Found a pair in Germany, not surprising really, as this was the home market.
Got everything crossed now, praying that the packer/shipper I've arranged, will do a good job, as they were collection only with no boxes.

Heco delivered my speakers from Germany with a special "man in a van" courier and only charged £60!

These speakers don't have boxes, so have to be collected, packed and shipped by the courier company, because of this it will cost many times more.

Hopefully they turn up in one piece Ken. Agree that was a great sounding combo.

Just got word from the courier, the speakers are being collected and packed Friday morning.
Its the luxury finish in piano gloss Mahogany, back in 1986 this was equivalent to 600 euro extra (if the euro had been around then).
Just hope the courier does a good job protecting them.
I sent pictures and sizes/weight, so they know what to expect, fingers crossed the ultra efficient Germans come through for me.

Very nice, bet they look great.
