    I'm surprised to read this Marco, having now got some idea what it is you want from an audio system.

    The Quad 2905s take a completely different approach to that of Tannoys. Presumably the Tannoys 'do for you' better than the Quads would.

    Me, I was so annoyed by what I read in a couple of the magazines that I bought, I threw them away in disgust!

    I have a few of these mags and reading them recently made me feel physically sick. twenty five years on and the secret's out. Naim financed this rag apparently and the supporting dealers (yes, we were one of 'em) helped accelerate the downturn in the UK audio industry, the "we" making money for a few good years and the "not-we" struggling and often closing down. Once the bubble burst, the "we" suffered too unless totally locked into the terrible two's vice-like grip.....


    Looking on ebay now, I don't see many bargains. It's as if the entire remaining custom for "mid grade" audio now shops on there for vintage gear. HiFi dave and I had a truly dedicated engineer who was so careful, knowledgeable and a lover of vinyl and valves who packed it all in ten years ago. I suspect he's now retired, but his services would be needed now for all this stuff - what a shame..........
    I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
    I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?

    That's all they're fit for, as I alluded to in another thread (somewhere).
