Well you guys need to be trading with Barry & he'll fill you in
He asked me to box his CDs up a while ago as he was off gallivanting about for a bit
By the way Nick, the JR150 probably doesn't go quite as deep or as cleanly as the 149. I know a guy that had the 150s, pity he had no respect for hifi speakers... Before their demise they were very nice if a little peaky at about 70Hz. I have a feeling that the single driver in the 149 might be a cleaner option.
Loads of nice equipment there chap, nice den toMy whole house is a den, it's just not tidy right now

I would definitely do one of those if I found one Jon! I don't think the JR149's need a subwoofer particularly, but a nice matched one wouldn't go wrong!How about one of these to go with your 149's Nick, very nice by the way

Interesting your thoughts on the 150 Mark. An issue with the crossover perhaps?
Thanks for your props about the Den. I have to keep it tidy, or it'd very quickly become Mrs Beechwoods' Den and we wouldn't want that happening

More an issue with volume requirements of 2 bass drivers over 1 in a single cabinet
If you aren't interested in shaking the place i'd prefer the 149s

That's me! 4 on the 33's volume control is more than enough to create a decent impact in my roomIf you aren't interested in shaking the place i'd prefer the 149s
