Yes, they concentrated on the stuff that actually matters with that Pioneer. I will find one at some point when I am feeling a bit 'spendy' again.

Just been reading the manual for these speakers plus a couple of magazine reviews. Turns out they were designed by Dominic Baker who used to edit HFW years and years ago. Interesting as IIRC he had very similar taste in speakers to me.

And they weight 36 kilos which explains why moving them is so much effort.
